Finding teachers can often be difficult for schools in rural America, and in response the Mahnomen School District is exploring the idea of implementing a Teacher Apprenticeship Program  for Para-Professionals. Mahnomen Superintendent Andrea Simon tells us more. 

Simon says this program is a direct response to the ongoing teacher shortage. 

During their meeting earlier this the Mahnomen School Board approved a travel request for Superintendent Simon, who says she will be attending the NAFIS Conference to discuss impact aid. 

The NAFIS Conference will be held March 15-17 in Washington DC.
