Sask's Education Minister was asked to close Legacy Christian Academy during a meeting where allegations of abuse at the school was discussed.

Caitlin Erickson was among three former students of Legacy Christian Academy — once known as Christian Centre Academy — to meet with Education Minister Dustin Duncan and ministry officials on Wednesday. The meeting, which included the students’ lawyer Grant Scharfstein, took place at Duncan’s request after weeks of Erickson and the former students seeking an in-person sitdown to discuss their allegations of physical, sexual and psychological abuses.

The Ministry of Education in an email confirmed that Duncan met with former students to hear first-hand of their experiences and historical allegations against the school. The meeting was a followup to one between former students and an appointed administrator at Legacy Christian Academy. Erickson said the conversation on Wednesday, first reported by CBC, was one-sided, with former students and their lawyer doing most of the speaking.

“I have no doubt he heard what we had to say. Can I tell what will come of it? I can’t. I don’t know. But they certainly know what the issues are,” Scharfstein said.
