It is one week away for students to return to their classes.
Jens Haven Memorial School in Nain has 4 teacher positions left to fill.
The K to grade 12 still have vacancies.
Some schools like Nain, apply to potential teachers through social media, Juanita Skanes, who is the Deputy Principal said last Thursday, August 25th, the school is still trying to fill 4 vacancies and will need to make contingency plans soon.
And said there’s still room for improvements, and hoping to be in better position this year.
Some of these job postings close on Friday, September 2, but that does not mean they’re being filled. Skanes said if a position at JHMS receive no applicants it will re-appear on the job board.
She said the school had 12 vacancies this year, an unusual number, wasn’t sure why the school had such a turnover. She added, “I don’t think they left because of specific issue in the community or school. Some teachers left to pursue a career, a job closer to their hometown, family or spouse.”
