Why this matters
Texas
public schools have been hampered by a longstanding teacher shortage
crisis in the state, a challenge that worsened during the pandemic.
School leaders have relied on uncertified teachers to fill
shortages, hiring job candidates who had little or no teacher
training or experience in the classroom. In 2025, lawmakers
banned uncertified teachers in core classes with a law set to be
phased in during the 2026-27 school year.
