The Alberta government is considering introducing fall legislation that would allow school superintendents to police themselves. For more than 25 years, the College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) has hoped for more legal power to decide what qualifications, training and continuing education superintendents should have. Some question how the move could affect the autonomy of elected school boards. The college proposes Alberta adopt a model like Saskatchewan, where the League of Educational Administrators, Directors and Superintendents ( LEADS ) regulates school division leaders. Board chair Tuininga said superintendents are school boards' sole legal employee.
