This is a list of school divisions in Saskatchewan.
There are currently twenty-seven school divisions: eighteen public divisions, eight Roman Catholic Separate School Divisions, and one fransaskois school division.[1]
When Saskatchewan was created in 1905, there were over five thousand school districts in Saskatchewan operating one room school houses.[2][3] In the 1940s, the provincial government instituted an amalgamation process resulting in larger school units, which greatly reduced the number of school divisions.[3] In 2004, the government announced a further amalgamation process.[4] Seventy-one school divisions were amalgamated into twelve new school divisions and two re-structured school divisions, while thirteen other school divisions were not affected.[5]
