I presented my petition calling on the gov’t to work with the Sask Human Rights Commission immediately.

The SHRC stepped in for students w dyslexia after a formal complaint—no parent should need to do this.

How do other teachers feel about Saskatchewans Ministry of Education ending Provincial exams? From my perspective this is a positive move. #sasked #education #teaching

Saskatoon Public Schools cutting about 80 educational assistants, citing lack of Jordan's Principle funding | CBC News Saskatoon Public Schools says it's ending contracts for about 80 temporary educational assistants over the next two weeks because it hasn't received expected federal funding.

This is not the responsibility of the federal govt but our provincial govt to ensure that our schools get the resources they need. Schools shouldn't have to go begging elsewhere for help #Saskatchewan #skpoli #sasked #education #schools www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Saskatchewan picks another fight with teachers over standardized tests | CCPA Last year, the Saskatchewan party government made the ill-advised decision to go after teachers. From bad-faith bargaining through billboards to the roundly condemned attacks on students and teachers ...

New from @policyalternatives.bsky.social: Standardized tests don't help kids, they don't help teachers, and they drain resources from schools. So why is #Saskatchewan's government trying to force them on the province? #sasked @simonenoch.bsky.social www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc...

Not sure if it is a budget cut or not but the teenager who attends Campus Regina Public for a class mentioned they went from 6 school busses to 4. They now share with another school. I dismissed it as the bus company losing drivers but is it possible? #SaskEd

Tank: Saskatchewan finally gets text on cellphone use in schools Saskatchewan again imposes an August surprise on teachers, students and school boards and struggles to provide specifics about consultation.

It looks like the Sask Party govt is pushing something through for education policy without proper consultation with teachers or parents. This govt needs to listen rather than just dictate #Saskatchewan #skpoli #education #Sasked

Saskatchewan’s new oil and gas high school courses are out of step with global climate action Instead of training high school students for an industry that the world is transitioning away from, we need education on energy alternatives and ways of addressing climate change impacts.

Sask. teachers narrowly reject province's latest contract offer | CBC News The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation confirmed the result Thursday evening, saying 88 per cent of its member teachers voted, with 55 per cent of those voters rejecting the contract.

The Sask Party government is going to have to take this seriously. With a provincial election coming this year they'll need to get a better deal on the table sooner rather than later #Saskatchewan #skpoli #sasked #education

Opinion: Schism with Sask. teachers stems from neutering school boards The former dean of the College of Education at the University of Saskatchewan links tension to 2009 decision to end taxation powers.

When the provincial govt gave itself control over mill rate taxation it created a schism between local communities and their schools. They need to restore this authority to local school divisions #Saskatchewan #education #sasked

Sask. Teachers' Federation says it's ready to bargain | CBC News The Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation says it is ready to get back to the bargaining table after its members overwhelmingly rejected the provincial government’s latest contract offer.

Teachers still want to work on a fair agreement for education in our province. Unlike our education minister who keeps pushing ultimatums rather than working on cooperation #sasked #education #Saskatchewan #skpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Sask. teachers resoundingly reject province's contract offer | CBC News Saskatchewan teachers voted this week on a contract offer from the provincial government after months of job action.

Ex-student calls plan to close Saskatoon Christian school a "rebrand" A letter shared on social media indicates Legacy Christian Academy plans to close.

Thank you @MalcolmFrench for telling me about the time the #saskatchewan Ministry of Education bought 1000 wooden penises and then when people were scandalized, turned around and sold them (at a profit I hope?) #skpoli #sasked #sexed (Legislative transcript March 1997)

"We'll see more kids with school avoidance or refusal to go because it's not the safe place it was. That means either dead children or adults whose mental health is a lot worse."
