By Michael Oleksyn Local Journalism Initiative Reporter  27/08/2024  The Saskatchewan Rivers School Division reported a slight increase in the number of teachers who identify as First Nations or Metis heading into the 2023-24 school year. The division’s board had a look at staffing numbers in the yearly accountability report presented by Superintendents of Schools Corey Trann and Jeff Court at their regular meeting on Monday. Director of Education Neil Finch said that he is impressed with several areas of the report but one highlight was the First Nations-Métis-Indigenous (FNMI) category. “The one thing that I think we do really well as a school division and that I think we can be really proud of is the amount of self-declared First Nations/Metis employees that we have working for us,” Finch said.
