SD57 names first Indigenous assistant superintendent
PRINCE GEORGE — School District 57 has named its first Indigenous assistant superintendent.
Pam Spooner was named to the position after spending the previous three years as SD57’s director of the Indigenous Education Department.
“I’ve never heard of anything like it in the province, with an Indigenous superintendent specifically for Indigenous education, reporting right to the district’s superintendent,” said Sharel Warrington, chair of the Board of Trustees. “Pam is a strong, compassionate, and humble Indigenous leader. She is well-positioned to promote the development of policies and programs for Indigenous learners and to collaborate, and build relationships with local, regional, and provincial organizations on education initiatives.”
