The Algoma School District's efforts to attract new teachers and retain existing instructors is paying off thanks to incentive programs. Algoma had four teaching vacancies for the 2019-2020 school year and was challenged in finding candidates who were a good fit for the district and the positions they applied for. Superintendent Nick Cochart says in response to a limited pool of prospective teachers the Algoma district made a few changes.
Of the four open teaching positions, three have been filled and one is expected to be staffed soon.
