Do they have teachers that only teach one day a week? How does this help a shortage?

The idea is that people will be enticed to work four days vs five and choose teaching as a profession.

It doesn't help an overall teacher shortage in the state really, just for the districts that do that. It saves the district money, which they can then pass on in the form of teacher raises to entice teachers if needed. And if you can make the same money working 4 days rather than 5, that's a decent enticement for teachers to switch districts.
Out here in the Phoenix metro it's typically the outskirts town school districts that have done this since they are typically far away and have a long commute to get to them.
