Districts across the commonwealth are struggling to find bodies to man classrooms thanks to COVID-related absences. It's gotten so bad in some districts that superintendents and principals are stepping up to fill the void.

We take your calls and hear more about the shortages with WBUR Education Reporter Carrie Jung, and Michael Thomas, the superintendent of Brockton Public Schools.

This segment aired on January 27, 2022.
