特朗普的签证费和工资规则威胁到农村学校雇用国际教师的能力,有可能使工作人员短缺。 Trump’s visa fee and salary rules threaten rural schools’ ability to hire international teachers, risking staff shortages.

包括蒙大拿的Hardin公立学校在内的农村学校依靠国际教师(150名工作人员中约有30名)在J1和H-1B签证上解决人员短缺问题。 Rural schools, including Hardin Public Schools in Montana, rely on international teachers—about 30 of 150 staff—on J1 and H-1B visas to address staffing shortages. 特朗普总统的新行政行动,包括100 000美元的H-1B签证费和转向高薪优惠制度,威胁到这一模式,因为地区预算负担不起费用,教师平均工资约为58 600美元。 President Trump’s new executive actions, including a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas and a shift to a high-salary preference system, threaten this model, as district budgets cannot afford the fee and teacher salaries average around $58,600. 这些变化有可能使国际教育工作者无法聘用或留用,从而干扰教师从短期签证过渡到长期签证的努力。 The changes risk making it impossible to hire or retain international educators, disrupting efforts to transition teachers from short-term to long-term visas. J1面试事前暂停,使雇用问题更加棘手。 A prior pause on J1 interviews worsened hiring challenges. 虽然政府宣称该政策保护美国工人, 但教育领袖警告该政策无意间伤害农村学校。 While the administration claims the policy protects American workers, education leaders warn it unintentionally harms rural schools. 倡导者们敦促豁免,但尚不清楚国土安全部是否会给予豁免。 Advocates are urging exemptions, but it remains unclear if the Department of Homeland Security will grant them.
