Pasadena, CA — Schools are starting to rehire laid off teachers and negotiating with the teachers union thanks to the $10 billion emergency funding provided by Congress as the new school year draws closer.

But reports from all over the country show that there are school districts that have no idea exactly how much money they are going to get or are not planning to spend it, since they have until September 2012 to do so. In New York, the Harlem School Board has reached a deal with the teachers union to have a three year freeze for base-rate pay for the new hires.

Among the school districts which have confirmed that it is hiring back teachers who were laid off is the Broward County School Board. Broward, in Florida, could hire back 100 teachers. In North Carolina, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are seeking 150 teachers in one of the biggest hiring decisions of this year in K-12 schools.

A. Harrison Barnes, CEO of EducationCrossing says that there are other opportunities for teachers that are still open. Barnes points to his website, EducationCrossing.com, a job aggregator site, which has been able to list almost 3,300 jobs new teaching positions this month.
