Bay Area Schools Try To Lure Male Teachers

by Lyanne Melendez - ABC 7 News
The National Education Association says it needs a few good men to become teachers. The number of male public school teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2005. They represent only about fourth of the total number of teachers.

Gilroy public schools have about 516 teachers -- of that number only 132 are men. Gilroy is no different from other school districts across the nation experiencing a downward trend in the number of male teachers.
