Carroll County Public Schools hires nearly 100 new teachers, but still more positions are left to be filled

The Carroll County Board of Education unanimously voted to approve the hiring of nearly 100 new educators, but school leaders say there are still more positions to be filled before the first day of school Sept. 6. “We’re working very hard to fill all of our vacancies for the upcoming school year, which has been challenging in CCPS and for all other systems across the state and nationally,” Superintendent Cynthia McCabe said at the board’s July 21 meeting. “This is particularly true in critical shortage areas, but staff are working hard to fill these positions.”
