Thank You, Teachers

To address the growing teacher shortage, Joliet Public Schools District 86 hired three international teachers for the 2021-2022 school year: Denise Vuoto of Argentina, Katherine Avalos of Peru and Augusto Quiroz-Cardenas of Columbia.

District 201′s multilingual program has just seven teachers for the program’s 201 students, who speak a wide variety of home languages. So teachers use a variety of resources to help meet each student's linguistic needs.

Vicki Petrovic and Kristine Kennedy both became teachers at Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C because they had great childhood experiences there.
