That gap matters. We must recommit to building the Black teacher pipeline because representation is everything.07 May 2026 17:44 +0000at://did:plc:cnviknpgcsffkyndzbljler3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlbrdqouno2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/educationmn.bsky.social/post/3ml773ol3tf2nHappy #SchoolNurseDay!

Increases of up to 18% are expected next year. The current system isn't working.
