SPPS working to fill teacher vacancies before new school year starts

St. Paul Public Schools (SPPS) is working to fill job openings with less than two weeks to go before the new school year starts.

“I’m confident we will have those teaching positions filled,” said Superintendent Dr. Stacie Stanley.

She explained SPPS Human Resources has been doing new intensive hiring fairs in the community to meet that goal.

The district had more than 135 teacher vacancies as of last week, according to a progress report to the Board of Education on Tuesday.

Cracker Barrel shares plummet after pushback on new logo, brand refresh

Shares of Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

plummeted roughly 10% on Thursday after the restaurant unveiled its new logo earlier this week as part of a larger brand refresh.

The new logo removes the image of a man leaning against a barrel that was prominently featured in the original, leaving behind just the words “Cracker Barrel” against a yellow background. The phrase “old country store” has also been removed.

The company said the colors in the logo were inspired by the chain’s scrambled eggs and biscuits.

The change is part of a “strategic transformation” to revitalize the brand that started back in May 2024. Under that mission, Cracker Barrel’s brand refresh includes updates to visual elements, restaurant spaces and food and retail offerings.
