A. Utilize the data collected through the annual survey to establish critical teacher shortage areas as follows:
1. Shortages by subject matter will be
designated from the top 10 academic disciplines identified as having shortages
through the superintendent's annual survey of school divisions.
2. In addition to the top 10 academic
disciplines identified statewide, school divisions may designate a subject area
as having a shortage if the school division receives three or fewer qualified
candidates (licensed or eligible for a license) for any teaching vacancy for
that subject area.
3. Any Virginia
school division, including rural or urban school divisions, where 10% of the
teachers are not fully licensed for their teaching assignment may be designated
as a geographic critical shortage area.
B. For the purpose of administering the Virginia Teaching Scholarship Loan Program, an individual may meet the teaching obligation, regardless of teaching discipline, by agreeing to teach in a school with a high concentration (50% or more) of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
