Post: What's the demand for secondary English teachers?

What is the demand for English teachers at the secondary
level in the Spokane area? That is, approximately how
many positions become open each year? How many people
apply, and how many are hired?

I need to complete a training research proposal for trade
adjustment assistance for teaching certification from
Eastern. I'm required to contact three employers, the
human resource offices of different districts, and ask
questions like "How many openings do they anticipate?"
and "How many applicants do they anticipate per opening?"

I did visit one district, but they couldn't help me much.
They had no idea how to answer my questions. They don't
know what is going to happen next year or the year after.

So, things don't look good for my research proposal. Can
anyone here help me? What can I tell the counselor who
needs to justify releasing funds to help me get teaching
certification to teach English at the secondary level here
in Spokane?
