Sat, July 29, 2017 — A statewide shortage of qualified applicants has resulted in Oklahoma schools relying more on emergency-certified teachers.
In fact, KRMG has learned the Oklahoma Board of Education has already approved nearly 900 emergency teaching certificates this year.
For reference, the certificates allow individuals to teach before completing the education or training requirements for regular or alternative certification.
