Funds announced to recruit, retain rural teachers

The BC Government has announced funding to enhance the recruitment and retention of teachers for rural schools.

Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson says this addresses a common point of discussion from her consultation tour of districts with rural and remote schools.

The province will invest $2 million to boost recruitment.

The president of the BC School Trustees Association is happy with the funding announcement.
