The Saskatchewan Teacher’s Federation is calling for all Saskatoon area schools to move to Level 4 of the Safe School Plan which would mean all students start learning remotely on Monday and continue online until it is deemed safe to return to in-person learning.
STF President Patrick Maze describes the situation in Saskatoon as perilous and says there are numerous outbreaks in Saskatoon and area schools. He suggests a move to remote learning is one measure to take to help protect people’s lives.
The Saskatoon Public Schools announced Thursday that students at Nutana Collegiate are moving to Level 4 of the Safe Schools Plan and all Nutana students move to remote learning on Friday.

Ward 2 Coun. Hilary Gough introduced amendments at Tuesday’s council meeting directing the administration to consult further with Saskatoon Public Schools on assessing other sites. She said she was doing so due to feedback she’d received from constituents about the proposed new school, many of whom expressed dismay at the prospect of losing already limited green space if it’s built in Optimist Park.
