Regina Public Schools

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]
