Sask. school divisions told to develop change room policies; Pride groups ‘cautiously optimistic’
The provincial government has directed school divisions across Saskatchewan to develop and implement policies on change room use.
The Ministry of Education announced Thursday the policies will be administrative documents used by staff at schools when dealing with issues around privacy and safety.
The province’s school divisions are expected to develop the policies in consultation with both students and parents.
“All divisions must ensure that by June 30, 2025, their policy is publicly available on their website and clearly communicated to staff, parents, students and members of the public to maintain a sufficient level of transparency across the province,” the ministry said in a statement.
