With Monday marking the beginning of the 2022-23 school year for many students across Utah, the Murray City School District is dealing with another challenge; staffing shortages.Doug Perry, spokesman for the district, says that all 350 teaching positions were filled, but they couldn't fill their intended amount of paraprofessionals or support staff. According to Perry, there are about 30 unfilled positions amongst the paraprofessional staffing category, an unprecedented shortage that has surprised officials within the district.
