School division will require staff to show proof of vaccination or test status

October 07, 2021


Saskatoon Public Schools is committed to protecting the health and well-being of our students and staff members. As such, the school division is currently developing an administrative procedure on employee vaccinations.

This administrative procedure will require all staff members to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 or provide regular negative test results. The decision was made by the division's administration and is supported by the Board of Trustees.

Information was shared with division staff on Sept. 29. Details of the administrative procedure are being finalized and more information will be available in the near future.

As educators, we teach the facts in our classrooms. When it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine, the scientific evidence showing its effectiveness is unequivocal.

Saskatoon Public Schools supports the provincial COVID-19 vaccination program. Vaccination is the most effective way to protect ourselves, our families, and our community against COVID-19. This is especially important in our schools, where most students are not yet eligible to be vaccinated.
