The Saskatchewan Rivers School Division saw no surprises in the education portion of the Provincial Budget announced Tuesday in the Legislature. According to director of education Robert Bratvold the education budget was as the division anticipated.
“It recognizes that there are fiscal challenges and implications. Locally it was pretty well exactly what we got last year plus an increase to account for the payment for teacher’s collective bargaining salary increase,” Bratvold said.
According to the province’s release Tuesday, the 27 school divisions will receive $1.96 billion in school operating funding for the 2021-22 school year, an increase of $19.2 million over the previous year. This includes fully funding the 2.0 per cent salary increase as part of the Teachers’ Collective Bargaining Agreement.

On Wednesday the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF) called for the Government of Saskatchewan to move all schools to Level 4 (online) learning for a two-week period following the Easter Break, which began Friday.
Level 4 means all schools would transition to online, mandatory learning from Monday, April 12 through Friday, April 23.
“There is a steady increase of COVID-19 cases in schools across the province,” STF President Patrick Maze said in a release.
“This two-week period will serve as a buffer to help protect students, teachers and ultimately our communities in the event people travel or gather over the break.”
