Are they recruiting properly for teaching positions?
IMO they need to offer competitive pay and then start recruiting out of the bigger midwestern Universities. Poach other state's college graduates to come here somehow. Maybe offer a 5+ year loan payment bonus for them. Advertise that places like Zachary, Prarieville, or Covington offer a good quality of life, solid schools, easy access to gulf coast beaches, and almost no winter weather.
You'd be surprised how far the latter part of that statement would go in places like Illinois or Wisconsin. Both of those states have very good schools and pay their teachers very well.

Systems like Zachary, West Feliciana, and Ascension typically don’t have huge problems bringing people in. Those are the systems any teacher who plans on staying in a public system wants to be in.
The big shortages are going to be in shitholes like EBR non-magnet schools or Orleans non-magnets, or in the rural parishes which aren’t considered suburbs of the bigger metro areas.

People in Louisiana do not understand how bad LA education is. Other states outside of basically MS will not be impressed by those areas. They will also be horrified by the state of education across LA when they realize people in LA actually think that is what is considered excellent.
LA’s main problem is that there is not a culture of valuing education in the family structure. It isn’t a money problem it is the typical household truly doesn’t value it. Standards are just so low.
