Start of the school year sees more teachers on call hired
KAMLOOPS — The beginning of the school year has come with larger classes in some schools, meaning the district has been busy hiring more teachers.
Some part-time teachers have moved into full-time positions, while others are being hired as teachers on call. But filling those positions hasn’t been an issue.
“We’ve been very fortunate this year that we’ve been able to add a large number of TOCs to our current list,” said District Superintendent of Human Resources Shayne Olsen. “We have not seen some of the pressures that we know exist in other districts. Over the last week, in fact, we’ve oriented over 30 new TOCs to the list. Many of those already have full- or part-time positions within the district.”
