School District 73 not impacted by province-wide teacher shortage
KAMLOOPS — While teacher shortages are having an impact on schools across B.C., that is not the case in Kamloops.
School District 73 said Thursday (August 31) it has a healthy roster of teachers. That includes the ability to recruit up-and-coming teachers from Thompson Rivers University’s (TRU) education programs.
“We are able to actually recruit almost directly from the university,” Superintendent Rhonda Nixon told CFJC Today. “We meet with the candidates and interview them early. We’re able to hire all the teachers we need. I hate to say that for some of my colleagues who can’t do it right now but we’re in a fortunate position.”
