SD73 expects to start school year with full complement of French Immersion teachers
KAMLOOPS — An apparent shortage of French immersion teachers in many areas of the province isn’t as much of a concern in the Kamloops/Thompson School District.
Shayne Olsen, associate superintendent of human resources with the Kamloops/Thompson School District, expects a full complement of French immersion teachers when classes start in less than two weeks.
“We are fortunate that Kamloops is a desirable place to live,” he told CFJC Today. “And so at this particular point we’re confident we’ll have a qualified French teacher in each one of our classes.”
But when it comes to French immersion teachers teaching on call (TTOC), he’s not as convinced.
