  • Education Matters: Northampton County

    Education Matters: Northampton County
    Apr 24 2024
    What's it like to teach on Virginia's Eastern Shore? Like other divisions, attracting and keeping teachers is an on-going issue in Northampton County Schools. They started this school year with a shortage. Also, the large migrant population of the region creates unique challenges for students and teachers when English is a second language, so what are some of the solutions? And, the division broke ground on a new middle and high school facility, but what are the politics of convincing the public to invest in school infastructure? In this installment of Education Matters, we tackle these topics and more with Dr. Lisa Martin, Superintendent of Northampton County Schools. NCPS is a member of HRETA, which holds WHRO's license.
