Province creates response team to help school shutdown

The Government of Saskatchewan has announced the creation of a Response Planning Team to help work through the logistics of the school shutdown.

The team, which began working yesterday, consists of members from the Ministry of Education, the Saskatchewan Teacher’s Federation, the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, the Saskatchewan Association of School Business Officials and the Saskatchewan League of Educational Administrators, Directors, and Superintendents.

Education Minister Gordon Wyant said that he has confidence that the Planning Team will make the best possible recommendations as students transition out of Saskatchewan Prekindergarten to Grade 12 classrooms.

“The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to supporting our students and staff in these uncertain times,” said Wyant.

The Planning Team is wanting to ensure students continue to have supplementary learning through distance opportunities and take- home resources.
