Well, there are plenty of people who have teaching licenses and a degree, but they don't live in Indiana. Especially in states where teacher openings are rare and don't happen unless someone retires or dies.
I think they could try to create a moving bonus incentive just to get some people over that moving expenses hump.

Without looking, I would guess that indiana's average teaching salary in relation to cost of living is trash or they fukked with their pension fund. Why would someone trying to be a teacher in NoVa potentially pulling in 70-80k want to go work for 30k even if it's a guaranteed job?

Did you look? Or are you going to make arguments with no basis???

I'm not for or against what you're arguing, but that's lazy

No one wants to work in Indiana.
They have a major issue where a lot of people who go to school head out of state afterwards.
Indiana is a wack state to grow old and die in.

The word "potential" is the thing. There's also the potential they'll never land a job because they are in line behind 100 other people.
Also, what I'm talking about is people who have the credentials to be a teacher but work in a state or part of a state where teaching jobs are scarce. They are signed up as substitute teachers and go in as often as possible but aren't full-time. These people are making less than 30K and would take that job in Indiana if they had the money to get there.

Moving across the country for a 30k job(not to mention the hassle of getting registered to teach in a new state) isn't something a lot of middle class people are willing to make. Better to stay where you are and work/volunteer in the school system in hopes to landing a job there.

Exactly. I understand that. That's why I had an idea for Indiana to provide moving expense assistance.
Do you read anything from the start?

Might increase the willingness of some to move, still not gonna get an influx of quality teachers unless you raise salaries/increase benefits
