This article provides excerpts of "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow? What America Must Do to Attract and Retain the Educators and School Staff Our Students Need" by the AFT Teacher and School Staff Shortage Task Force.

Moving into the new school year the AFT will continue to use this report and its action steps to proactively improve the working and learning conditions for everyone in our schools.
