Alleged human rights violations

In October 2009, it was reported that Jan Buterman, a former employee of the district, had filed a human rights complaint against the district. [3] Buterman claimed that he had been removed from the district's substitute teaching list in 2008 after he declared his intention to transition from a female to male. In a letter to Buterman dated October 14, 2008, the division's deputy superintendent, Steve Bayus, stated "Since you made a personal choice to change your gender, which is contrary to Catholic teachings, we have had to remove you from the substitute teacher list." [4] As of October 15, 2009, the Alberta Human Rights Commission had accepted Buterman's complaint. [3]

2011 Morinville controversy

The Town of Morinville has only a public Catholic high school (part of the Greater St. Albert Catholic Regional Division), and no secular or Protestant high schools, though the surrounding Sturgeon County, is a part of the public Sturgeon School Division. [5] In 2011, this led non-Catholic parents to start an advocacy campaign to secularize education in Morinville. [6] [7]
