Michigan schools are seeking to lean on experience to help solve the growing teacher scarcity.

The entire country is in trying to close the books on a shortage of teachers. WSJM reports that Michigan educators are looking to remove a roadblock that would allow retired teachers to get back in the classroom.

The state is one of the few in the nation that bans recently retired teachers from getting back into a classroom for 9 months.

A State Senate Committee will vote on a bill next week that will allow those teachers to come back sooner than that, but first they want a salary cap of $10,000 a year removed from the bill.
