Class-size cap strains Florida
A booming population and a new voter-approved initiative to cap class sizes have made teachers, already in short supply across the country, an even hotter commodity across the Sunshine State.
Cindy Soell is always on the lookout for potential teachers. She buttonholes shoppers and goes online in search of candidates. She even urges college football players to consider teaching when their playing days end.
"I can't just go in the Orange Bowl with a plane and a sign 'Be a teacher,"' said Soell, who leads the charge for teacher recruitment in Miami-Dade County, Florida's largest school district with 380,000 students.
