It may only be January, but many school administrators are thinking about recruiting teachers for next year.  White Salmon Valley School District Superintendent Jerry Lewis has begun his recruitment work, saying at this point the lack of qualified teachers is a crisis in Washington, and the district wants to be out in front of the pack in recruitment.  Lewis says districts can’t compete for teachers based on pay with the state salary schedule, so they have to differentiate themselves in large part by finding people who want to come to the Gorge.  But he quickly adds the cost of housing in the region is as big a hurdle in hiring teachers as a shortage of candidates is.
