Many, many non-tenured teachers were pink slipped at the end
of school because the education budget did not get passed
before the regular session ended. I think jobs will be hard
to come in early childhood education even in systems that
typically can't keep teachers.
To my knowledge, Alabama does not have ANY reciprocity with
other states in terms of certification. They will, however,
offer emergency certificates, if the need arises (which often
does in secondary math or science positions). However, if
there are other qualified/certified applicants, the state
typically will not issue an emergency certificates.
Minority applicants from other states applying to school
systems still under desegregation court orders will have
priority, even over certified non-minority applicants. In my
system, we are actively recruiting minority applicants in east
central Alabama.
Hope this helps!
