Public school district of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
Regina School Division #4,[1] also known as Regina Public Schools (RPS), is the Anglophone secular public school district of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Its headquarters, J.A. Burnett Education Centre, was named after teacher Jim Burnett.[2]
As of 2020[update] the school district collects ethnicity data on registration forms, but there is also an anonymous self-reporting Tell Them From Me survey which collects self-reported data. The latter has higher percentages of students with First Nations ancestry declared compared to the former.[3]
In 2021 there was a proposal for diversity training for every person working for the school district.[4] All members of the school board voted in favor to enact this.[5]
History
The headquarters received its current name in 1985.[2]
In 2020 the board had more new members than returning members.[6]
In September 2020 board member Jane Ekong released a report about the experiences of Black Canadian students in the district.[7]
Ken Jenkins School - An October 2009 meeting of the RPS board identified it as one of the schools with the smallest number of students, and RPS closed it in 2010. The school was vandalized on multiple occasions, and as of 2020 there are plans to demolish it.[9]
