Board trustees to consider concerns over SRSD position cuts
The Saskatchewan Community Schools/Community Education Association dropped off a list of questions for school board trustees to ponder on Monday night.
The Saskatchewan Rivers School Division recently told 10 community schools that as of June 27, their community school co-ordinator positions would no longer exist.
The current plan for the money spent on that staff, who were dedicated to organizing student food and community-related programs, will be spent on vulnerable students in over 30 schools in the division rather than 10, said trustee Grant Gustafson.
“When all schools will have resources where previously only 10 of them had access to that pool of resources, it makes a difference. So now you can have a program that will follow through, all the high schools for example, will have money to continue things,” he said.
