Committees

The work of the SPTRB is led by the Board of Directors and is supported by various committees. SPTRB committees are tasked with a variety of functions and include the involvement of registered teachers, representatives from the education sector in Saskatchewan, and members of the public. The important functions carried out by the SPTRB’s committees would not be possible without the dedication of our Board of Directors and volunteers contributing to the profession with their time and expertise.
