Birmingham school board votes 5-3-1 to hire eight Filipino teachers

The Birmingham,Alabama, Board of Education voted 5-3-1 this afternoon to hire eight Filipino teachers to teach math and science in city schools.
The vote came after almost two hours of discussion. Members Phyllis Wyne, Virginia Volker and Martha Wixom cast the dissenting votes; Carolyn Cobb abstained from voting.
Jeff McDaniels, director of human resources for Birmingham city schools, said two of the 10 Filipino teachers originally proposed for hiring by Birmingham have since been recruited to other school systems in the United States.
Four administrators, including McDaniels, spent more than a week in the Philippines in search of math and science teachers. Birmingham administrators say they have a shortage of math and science teachers and traveled to the Philippines through a California-based recruiting firm, Avenida International Consultants.
Avenida paid for the trip, with the stipulation that Birmingham hire at least 10 teachers. The administrators interviewed 89 candidates while in the Philippines and identified 10 to hire now and an additional 10 at a later date.
