Yukon Indigenous School Board

December 12, 2021

Yukon Government – As of October 31, 2021, the following school councils have submitted a resolution to trigger a referendum on their school falling under the authority of a newly established First Nation School Board:

  • Chief Zzeh Gittlit School;
  • Grey Mountain Primary School;
  • Johnson Elementary School and Watson Lake Secondary School, which includes one referendum;
  • Ross River School; and
  • St. Elias Community School.

Interested school communities whose school council did not pass a resolution can still submit a petition to the Minister of Education by December 13, 2021. The referendum process will take place in January 2022 in any school attendance area where a resolution or petition signed by 20 per cent of eligible electors is submitted.
