Teachers To Head Back To Class In La Loche One Month After Deadly Shooting

The Canadian Press, 12 Feb, 2016 11:41 AM
    LA LOCHE, Sask. — Teachers are to return to a school in northern Saskatchewan one month after a shooting that killed four people.
     
    The Northern Lights School Division says in a release that teachers are to be back at the La Loche Community School on Feb. 22.
     
    It says classes will resume shortly after that for elementary students.
     
    No date has been set for the return of high school students, but the division says staff are looking at options for how to make up lost class time.
     
    The school has been closed since the Jan. 22 shooting.
     
    Two teenage brothers were shot dead in a home and a teacher and an aide were killed at the high school in the Dene community.
     
     
    Seven people in the school were wounded and three of them remain in hospital.
     
    A 17-year-old boy, who can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Friends have said he was an outcast at home and a victim of bullying at school.
     
    His next court appearance in Meadow Lake, Sask., is also set for Feb. 22.
     
    The town's mayor, Kevin Janvier, had suggested the school needed to be torn down so people could heal. He has since changed his mind, saying education needs to be a priority.

    The Saskatchewan government now says three of those four victims are still receiving care from the Saskatoon Health Region.
     
    The government says no other details can be released because of privacy rules.
     
    A 17-year-old boy faces four counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.
