According to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln there aren’t enough student teachers in the state to fill openings for high school ag teachers.
Gina Pospichal, guidance counselor and curriculum director with Chambers High School, tells Brownfield her school has had an opening since January and if it isn’t filled the FFA program will be placed on probation. “Many of them feel so strongly about this program and how important it is for them to make sure the agriculture program at our school continues.
