Fort Worth ISD announced it will begin the 2026-27 school year with no teacher vacancies, marking a significant turnaround for the district. This milestone comes after a months-long push to fill positions following over 1,000 staff departures ahead of the new school year.
Recruitment Efforts Pay Off
The district has spent months recruiting educators, including holding hiring fairs throughout the summer. In April, Fort Worth ISD also announced an automatic 5% raise for classroom teachers as part of its efforts to recruit and retain educators. Although the district says it has filled its teacher vacancies, it continues to advertise other employment opportunities, including positions in special education and other areas.
