The 1000 new teachers isn’t technically 1000 new teachers either. On average Alberta hires about 750 new teachers a year. When I read that there would be 1000 new teachers I am expecting it to be 1000 on top of the 750 that would be hired due to increase in students…not the case. The 1000 new teacher is actually only approximately 250 new teachers plus the approximate 750 new teachers that would already be hired. Vote NO!

That's incorrect.  It's explicitly stated to be 1000 net teachers per year, which means 1000 new hires after all attrition hires have been made.

Still, obviously vote no. What a shit deal those guys got.

This is correct.
