The Southern Chiefs Organization has asked the province's education department and Mountainview School Division to reverse a decision made earlier this week to move ahead with two contentious issues.
Earlier this week, a majority of trustees defeated a motion that if passed, would have stopped the return of God Save the King from being sung in MVSD schools.
They also moved forward with a motion to have all non-provincial and federal flags removed from schools.
In a release on their Facebook page, the SCO says the actions of a small majority of MVSD trustees go against the division's mission, which is to provide an inspiring, respectful, and safe learning environment where every student is valued, nurtured and enabled to reach their full potential.
SCO Grand Chief Jerry Daniels added that it is essential that First Nations students feel safe and supported within their school environments.
