For all teachers moving to our district, we offer a moving bonus of up to $2,500. Beyond that, we also give an annual retention allowance of $2,673.00, which could cover the cost of one or two months' rent.

In Hazelton, Kitwanga and Stewart—the smaller communities in our district—we also provide a small-community living allowance, which ranges from $1,069 to $4,006 per year. This is on top of the annual retention allowance mentioned above, meaning that, as a new teacher, you could earn upwards of $6000.00 more per year than your colleagues down south.

The district is also considering providing a rent subsidy for the 2022-2023 school year for the new hires only. Please get in touch with HR for further details.

The district also offers district-owned housing at a subsidized rent in the community of Hazelton, Kitwanga and Stewart. These units are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Couple these bonuses with the reduced cost of living/housing, and you can easily see how Coast Mountain School District provides its teachers with a fantastic quality of life.

Now that you've got your bases covered, it's time to think about how you're going to spend your free time in our district. See Looking for Adventure in SD 82.
