Staffing across K-12 has shifted over the past two years. While teacher shortages have eased in many areas, districts are still balancing workload strain, hard-to-fill roles, and uneven funding, all of which affect daily operations.
In this session, findings from Frontline Education’s 2026 K-12 Lens survey, an annual nationwide survey of school and district leaders, set the stage for a conversation with district practitioners. Drawing on responses from more than 1,000 leaders, this discussion explores where staffing pressures have eased, where they remain, and how these realities show up in day-to-day work.
District practitioners will share how they are responding on the ground, including how they:
- Manage staffing changes, role shifts, and coverage decisions
- Track vacancies and assignments to support planning
- Balance administrative workload and compliance demands
- Reduce last-minute staffing fixes and improve daily coordination
Designed for districts and school teams, this webinar pairs national data with real-world experience to provide a practical look at how districts are adapting operations to maintain stability and continuity.
