Serving the second-largest population of students with disabilities in the state, Baltimore County Public Schools cut special education teacher vacancies by nearly half this year. Last year, the district had 80 special education teacher vacancies, compared to 43 this year, according to BCPS. Allison Myers, executive director of the system’s Office of Special Education, said hiring incentives have helped bring down the vacancies.
