The Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division (SRPSD) will have a new leader before the start of the next school year.

The SRPSD announced on Friday that Neil Finch will take over as the director of education and CEO starting on Aug. 1, 2023. He is replacing Robert Bratvold who is officially retiring at the end of July.

Finch has been with the SRPSD since 2013 when he took over the superintendent of schools role.

“I am humbled, honored, and excited for this new opportunity within Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division,” Finch said in a statement. “I am very proud of Sask Rivers Public School Division and I want to do what I can to help our division continue to be a great place for our students, families, and staff.”

After an extensive search, SRPSD Board Chair Darlene Rowden said they believe Finch is the right person for the job.
