It details the challenges faced by districts, including staffing shortages, increased turnover, and the need for improved resource management. The report emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges to improve outcomes for both students and staff. It also highlights the need for districts to refine their operational strategies in response to evolving expectations and the changing landscape of K-12 education.
