RE;TEACHERS
There are thousands of retired teachers in Palm Beach and Broward counties.
Many,I would guess, could be open to working 2 or 3 days a week or split shifts.
Or be available on a subject only basis–like a math or English or history teacher
Might not be in line with current thinking-but thinking outside of the box often brings good results
