Cullman City Schools are having no difficulty filling positions that Superintendent Kyle Kalloff said are some of the most difficult to find educators for at the moment.
During the June 30 board meeting, Kalloff said that during a recent statewide superintendent meeting many administrators had made mention that math, special education and science teachers were in particular high demand.
