to determine Nebraska teacher shortages in the fall of 2024 and what the district/system did to address those shortages. The survey conducted by the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) and disseminated to all Nebraska PK-12 public school districts, Educational Service Units (ESU), and nonpublic school systems, determined the following:  \n􀂃 The number of districts/systems that could not find fully qualified personnel;  \n􀂃 The number of teacher positions for which districts/systems could not find fully qualified personnel;  \n􀂃 The endorsement areas of those positions;  \n􀂃 The reasons why individuals in the applicant pool were not sufficient/appropriate for the positions; and  \n􀂃 What districts/systems did to address the positions not filled with fully qualified personnel. PROCEDURES  \nThe Teacher Vacancy Survey, which is administered online through the NDE Portal, was opened to all Nebraska PK-12 public school districts, Educational Service Units (ESU), and nonpublic school systems, in October 2024. Announcements in the NDE Bulletin (a weekly e-bulletin for NDE Portal users), phone calls, and email reminders were utilized to encourage participation.  \nThe survey asked districts/systems to report the following information:  \n􀂃 The number of positions the district/system needed to fill at the beginning of the 2024-25 school year;  \n􀂃 The number of those positions not filled with fully qualified personnel *;  \n􀂃 The full-time equivalency (FTE) and endorsement area of each unfilled ** position;  \n􀂃 The reason for not being able to fill the position with a fully qualified teacher; and  \n􀂃 How the district/system solved the dilemma for the position.  \nNDE gathered the following information using data available from NDE databases:  \n􀂃 Community College Region in which district/system is located  \n􀂃 Size of PK-12 school enrollment  \n1 – Western 2 – West Central  \n3 – Northeast 4 – Central  \n5 – Southeast 6 – Metro  \nFor purposes of this report, public districts, ESUs, and nonpublic systems’ data are combined into total counts as Districts/Systems (coded in orange, Table \\#a); ESUs are combined with the publicschool data as Districts (coded in green, Table \\#b), while the nonpublic data are shown as Systems (coded in yellow","cbCaigVk0OguISLI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigVk0OguISLI","pdf",1009107,25,"English","# Procedures\n# Results\n## Response Rate\n## Districts/Systems with Unfilled Positions\n## Unfilled Positions\n## Table 1 Original and Return Sample by Region\n## Table 2 Original and Return Sample by District/System Size\n## Table 3 Unfilled Positions by Region\n## Table 4 Unfilled Positions by District/System Size\n## Table 5 Unfilled Positions by Endorsement Area and Region\n## Table 6 Unfilled Positions by Endorsement Area and Size\n## Table 7 Reasons for Unfilled Positions by Region\n## Table 8 Reasons for Unfilled Positions by Size\n## Table 9 Reasons for Unfilled Positions by Endorsement Area\n## Table 10 Solutions for Unfilled Positions by Endorsement Area\n## Table 11 Shortage Areas for 2025-2026","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the Nebraska teacher vacancy survey for fall 2024?\",\"answer\":\"The survey aimed to determine Nebraska teacher shortages in fall 2024 and identify what districts/systems did to address shortages and unfilled fully qualified positions.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the survey administered and when was it opened?\",\"answer\":\"The Teacher Vacancy Survey was administered online through the NDE Portal and opened to Nebraska PK-12 districts, ESUs, and nonpublic systems in October 2024.\"},{\"question\":\"What metrics does the report use to analyze unfilled positions?\",\"answer\":\"It tracks the number of districts/systems unable to find fully qualified personnel, the number of unfilled positions (including vacant ones), full-time equivalency (FTE) and endorsement areas, reasons for not filling, and solutions implemented.\"}]","Teacher Vacancy Survey Report - December 2024 | PDF",1792057250,63]
