The hearing for a former La Ronge, Sask. high school teacher and basketball coach accused of sharing a bed with a student and running ‘strip basketball’ drills thirty years ago began Tuesday morning.
Martina Cain, who worked at Churchill Community High School, was charged with four counts of professional misconduct stemming from incidents between 1986 and 1989 by the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) in October 2016.
Cain pleaded not guilty to the charges.
