Government appointed administrators have been named for three independent schools for the 2022-23 school year that currently have someone employed who was named in a recent lawsuit by former students. The students are alleging psychological, emotional and physical abuse.

As of August 24th, Mike Walters will oversee Legacy Christian Academy, Dave Derksen at Grace Christian School and Randy Fox at Regent Christian Academy. The government says the administrators’ priorities will be to direct the operations of the schools to ensure student safety and well-being, and to provide a positive learning environment for students.

Their duties will include reviewing staff lists to determine if the appropriate staff will continue to provide teaching and other services within the schools. They will also be reviewing the school policies and procedures, as well as reviewing historical documentation in order to make recommendations for any changes that might be appropriate or necessary.

Formal reports from the administrators will be submitted to the Ministry of Education at least monthly to ensure the schools are teaching Saskatchewan curricula.

A government news release says the administrators will be in place for the next several months, or as required. The Legacy Christian Academy had previously been known as the Christian Centre Academy.
