Local students explore teaching as Virginia vacancies decline

FISHERSVILLE — Walking into a classroom full of students who are considering being teachers delighted Ryan Barber. The Waynesboro assistant superintendent was part of a group that answered questions from students in the Teachers for Tomorrow programs at Valley Career and Technical Center and the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School in Fishersville at the end of October. It was the second straight year the panel of superintendents and central office was hosted by the programs, giving students a chance to ask questions of those in leadership positions in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro. Barber believes programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can plant seeds that hopefully grow in the years to come, eventually producing more and more teachers in area classrooms. Part of Barber's job is recruiting and hiring staff for Waynesboro Public Schools. Finding teachers is never easy, although according to the The Virginia Department of Education the numbers are improving. Since 2023, teacher vacancies across Virginia have dropped by almost 36% . In Region 5, which includes the Shenandoah Valley, the teacher vacancy rate is 1.4%, lower than the state rate of 2.5%. Those are good signs and programs like Teachers for Tomorrow can help identify students who are interested

Rain and snow potential returns as coldest air of season sweeps in after a couple dry days

Overall, a mild Monday with temperatures sitting right around the average. We are going to remain dry overnight and stay dry through Veterans’ Day, which is appearing to be a very nice day with above average temperatures for this time of year. The temperatures and dry weather will be short lived though, as we are tracking a system to end this week that has potential to bring us rain and snow. Here is a look from the European model for Thursday morning that shows quite a nice batch of rain moving through the area. This shouldn’t be a complete washout as there does appear to be some dry air making its way through and shouldn’t be raining all day long for everyone on Thursday.

What should Valley farmers ask before booking flatbed equipment moves?

That used tractor on a dealer’s lot in Ohio looks like a steal on your phone. Then you think about getting it down I-81 to a farm outside Staunton. A big four-wheel-drive or a combine won’t go in an enclosed van, and hardly anybody in Augusta or Rockingham County owns a trailer rated to haul one. So you buy the machine, and now it has to come home somehow.
