So what’s in these reports? Here are some pages of the reports about Legacy and what’s in them. These reports were written by Min of Education staffer, Mike Walters. 🧵
While Mile Two/Legacy has tried to trick the public with the ole “but we’ve changed” schtick, we can see from the admin reports they are still suspending students for what they do at home, or on the weekends. Completely against the policies in The Education Act. #legacyofabuse
Then there’s that big ole surplus Legacy Christian Academy is running up. That’s right, Legacy is running a major surplus, and has been for several years. Funny thing though, the surplus they end the year with, 75% disappears by the start of the next school yr. #LegacyOfAbuse
A staff member, now VP at Legacy, wanted to bring in someone who is listed in the statement of claim to speak to students! How lovely. #LegacyOfAbuse#butwevechanged
Remember that big Ole surplus their running? They have the 💰but didn’t want to pay for an assessment for a student who needed one. I will applaud Mike for authorizing that, even though Mike Two leadership didn’t want the student to have that support. #legacyofabuse#sameoldshit
There’s also several mentions of having the staff “working on aligning” the curriculum. Funny, the first inspection report in 2011 says the same thing. Here we are in 2023 and it’s still magically not aligned with provincial outcomes. #legacyofabuse
Oh yeah, and this is a good one 🤦🏼♀️Certain staff @ Legacy going over the Admins head & doing things they shouldn’t have, and the church leadership coming to the admin asking if teachers w/signed agreements with SPTRB can be hired back…. (Last point #8) #legacyofabuse#sameshit

I’ve seen some disgusting comments on some of the recent articles from court this week. 🧵
Here’s a copy of the 1995 Education Act. Christian Centre Academy was considered a Registered Independent School in 1996/1997. They became a Qualified Independent School in 2011.
“Every pupil is subject to the general discipline of the school. (1), discipline must not include the use of any of the following a strap, cane or other physical object”
Registered Independent Schools follow the Education Act, with exceptions laid out in the Independent School Regulations. There was no exception to discipline in Registered Independent Schools.
Hey Twitter fam, let me tell you a little story about an advertisement company that took money from us to advertise our podcast @Legacyofabuse & after we paid in full FOR THE YEAR, decided last minute to not let us advertise. Have you ever heard of Creative Outdoors? 🧵#skpoli
Alumni @MarkDrapak reached out to Creative Outdoors Sept of 2023 a contract was signed for year long ad space on a bus bench located on the corner of Pinehouse and Primrose Dr. in Saskatoon, Sk. It was also paid IN FULL for the YEAR.
For context, here’s a mock up of what the ad, that was approved by the ad agency, would look like. The year long ad was to start Dec 15, 2023. We were SHOCKED when we received an email on November 15, 2023 stating the ad would not run, and they were “expiring our account”.
Here’s what I don’t like, fundy QIS schools blatantly lying on their website. Here’s Prarie Christian Academy. They advertise 12:1 student-teacher ratio. Here’s a list of the “teachers” from 2021-2022 school year. Only 2 have the ability to register with SPTRB.🧵
The regulations since 2011 have stated that QIS schools need to have a certified professional teacher as the Principal. Rene Boutin was the “Principal” at PCA for 10+ years until last year. @SKGov does not have the ability to regulate Private Schools in Sask. #skpoli
Why lie and say your student to teacher ratio is 12:1? It’s not. In 21/22 school year you had 82 children from Pre-K-Grade 12, and TWO Professional A teachers, according to your own Yearbook from that year. The rest of the folks, are not teachers. I’ve blocked the kids pics/names
Sharing my experience w/ CLSD @ MSS is. I applied for CLSD for the 2nd time. This is the letter I received back. I took my son out of the province for his FASD diagnosis in 2019 to the @LakelandFASD He received 3 diagnoses, w/ 18pg report-all submitted with the application.
He received his diagnostic assessments by a team of professionals from @LakelandFASD. The team meticulously put together an 18-page report which was provided to MSS. The 2 docs, SLP, & OT signed the report. My son meets the requirements of CLSD, by a landslide.
I am fully aware of my privilege to write a strongly worded email back & point out the glaring obvious, & spell out w/page # the answers to the questions, with a document she already had. I’ve been advocating since day 1 for my kiddo & this is how it is….
The people of this province should be asking Min Duncan, why was the Administrator at Legacy Academy removed in January and given a promotion, after he told former students it was his belief the school should be shut down. #legacyofabuse
1/2 staff who were conducting these “fluff” inspections (🚫3/year) since 2011 when QIS schools received your tax 💰is still employed. One has retired. If the Admins report from 22’ has the same problems as your inspection from 11’, the gov has turned a blind eye deliberately.
One of the last conversations a former student had with Legacy Admin Mike Walters, he called it a “culture of accepted deviancy” stated they should be “shut down immediately” & he had “submitted reports about the issues to Min of Ed”. #legacyofabuse
It’s been 500 days since I made my criminal complaint to @SaskatoonPolice about the pre-rebranded @miletwo_church, Christian Centre Academy & Christian Centre Ministries. 🧵#LegacyOfAbuse
As a student group, we decided to go public to the media in August w/ the help of @WarickCBC. This decision was based on length of time the Justice system takes, and the fact there were/are minor children still around ALL of the named defendants in the lawsuit. #legacyofabuse
I made my complaint in June of 2021, and 17 former students also made complaints before the end of 2021. Grace Academy (John O former cca head) operated that whole school year. Once public, we found out there was criminal complaints against John O in 2015 & 2017. #LegacyOfAbuse
