Teachers in Saskatchewan have a new option for work.
The Saskatchewan Distance Learning Corporation is creating a new, provincial online school to open this fall, and up to 90 teaching positions will need to be filled along with a number of other support positions.
According to the Ministry of Education, staffing opportunities will be available in the main office in Kenaston as well as at the regional campuses in Estevan, La Ronge, Moose Jaw, Neilburg, Nipawin, Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Yorkton.
The online school will also employ about 60 teachers who will transfer directly from the Sun West School Division, the ministry noted.
Teachers hired by the Distance Learning Corporation will be members of the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation, the ministry noted, giving all teachers access to benefits, a pension and other supports provided by the union.
Job postings can be accessed online, the ministry added, and student registration is expected to open next month.
