How long can this go on?
Do the data suggest any variation in staffing-to-enrollment ratios by state or region? I wonder if this is similar to how teacher "shortages" are highly region and endorsement-dependent.
Oh definitely. I haven't broken that down for this year's data, but here's a district-level version focused on teachers from last year: https://www.the74million.org/article/interactive-data-from-9500-districts-finds-even-more-staff-and-fewer-students/
Or I still like this piece on how public education looks very different depending on where you live: https://www.the74million.org/article/the-50-very-different-states-of-american-public-education/
