Borderland teachers, check this out! Las Cruces has a bunch of openings for the 2018-2019 school year.

New Mexico is facing a huge shortage of teachers across the state, especially in Albuquerque. That's kinda far away but, the shortage has also affected Las Cruces which is way close.  According to the LC Sun - News, Cruces has 79 openings.

Depending on what part of El Paso you live in, Cruces is anywhere from 15-20 minutes to an hour away.  If the pay and the perks are right, that's not bad at all.  (Some friends of mine living and teaching here in El Paso have 30-45 minute commutes.)

I hear EPISD employees, and those of other area districts, moaning and griping about how messed up things are around here all the time. If you're one of them, here's your chance to see if the grass truly is greener on the other side!
