Concern over potential changes to how Sask. schools are governed
The provincial government has asked for feedback on how schools should be governed in Saskatchewan – and it’s getting an earful.
Michelle Gustafson is the chair of the student community council at College Park School in Lloydminster.
She said she worries about the potential that one board could end up overseeing Saskatchewan’s 18 existing public boards.
“How does a school board 250 kilometres away understand what my community needs or wants? I’m not sure that happens when there is a large over-arching group deciding what we would like to teach our kids and in what way,” Gustafson told 650 CKOM Thursday.
