The NDP cited a 2013 report from the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, which said 75 per cent of school roofs would fail within five years.
The Opposition also says inspections in one Saskatoon-area division showed five schools aren’t safe because of structural problems.
Wotherspoon says the government needs to make a schedule that lists and prioritizes all necessary school repairs.
