Alberta superintendents will be able to police their own profession if a new bill is passed in the legislature.
Education Minister Adriana LaGrange introduced a bill on Tuesday that would see senior school division leaders required to belong to a college, which would investigate any complaints against the professionals.
By September 2022, should the bill pass, the existing College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) would have the legal power to investigate its members. It would also be responsible for ensuring superintendents' skills and knowledge are up to date.
