Saskatchewan鈥檚 ombudsman says a teacher who was shot in the face at a school in La Loche in 2016 is not entitled to compensation payments for pain and suffering.

Charlene Klyne, a substitute teacher, lost all vision in her left eye and can only see dark shadows in her right eye.

She has numerous pellets lodged in different spots from her jaw to her chest that can鈥檛 be removed by surgery.

Last year, she complained that workers鈥� compensation payments hadn鈥檛 been enough to cover her bills.

The provincial government asked ombudsman Mary McFadyen to review Klyne鈥檚 case.

McFadyen says Klyne has received all the support she is entitled to under government and workers鈥� compensation rules.

鈥淭hrough no fault of her own, Ms. Klyne was badly injured at work in a horrific event. We looked at the government agencies within our jurisdiction and found they provided her the supports that were within their authority to provide,鈥� McFadyen said in a release Wednesday.

鈥淭hose benefits did not include compensation for pain and suffering.鈥�

McFadyen says she is not making a recommendation to the government and declined to make her report public.
