Both boards are estimating growth of 4% or more for the next 4 years. For CBE, that's over 5,000 new students per year. Add that to the fact that teachers are retiring in droves, and my guess is they would need at least 250 new teachers. I know someone who works in HR at the Catholic board, and they have been recruiting as far away as Quebec as they can't get enough teachers. Maybe the Catholic requirement makes it harder for them to fill positions though.
Maybe it's tough to find work in February though, as I assume they would do the bulk of hiring in the summer.
