Former Sask. high school principal guilty of professional misconduct
A former Wolseley High School principal has been found guilty of professional misconduct following charges of bribing teachers to change her daughter’s marks and mishandling classes for other students.
In a public notice of penalty hearing, the Saskatchewan Teacher’s Federation ethics committee said Kimberley Sautner was found guilty of professional misconduct following a hearing in February. The penalty hearing is scheduled for Monday.
Sautner, 44, was the former principal of Wolseley High school between 2008 and 2014. She now works as a principal in Alberta.
The committee heard how in January 2015, six months after she left the school, Sautner sent text messages to two English teachers asking them to “upgrade” her daughter’s first semester Grade 12 English grade so the girl could skip a university course she was having difficulty with.
