Roswell Public Schools is partnering with PLI, a top rated virtual K-12 staffing company due to the upward trajectory and geometric increase in the teacher shortage crisis in New Mexico. Over the course of the past school year the district had more than 30 vacancies on the first day of school. Prior to researching and committing in virtual K-12 staffing options many students endured years without access to a highly qualified math teacher. Parents complained and administrators were left scrambling to seek and locate qualified staff with few real options.
