Kamloops-Thompson School District hiring a dozen educational assistants
KAMLOOPS — School can be difficult for students with physical or intellectual disabilities.
In order to help them get the best education possible, certified education assistants are on hand to act as the bridge between teachers and students, helping ensure they understand class material to the best of their ability.
This year, there are more kids than usual requiring extra support and that’s why the school board recently voted in favour of adding more of these positions within the district.
The need for more certified education assistants in the classrooms caught School District 73 officials off guard.
