Special CamNews
As we continue to shape the future of Camosun, I would like to share details about the upcoming transition to new school structures. As always, we are here to support you through these changes.
Over the coming weeks, leaders and teams will finalize the details for realigning departments into new schools. These changes will take effect on March 31, 2025, aligning with the start of the new fiscal year. While most departments will see little to no change in daily operations, some will transition to new reporting structures. The final names of the schools will be shared soon.
Our focus remains on ensuring every student continues to receive excellent educational services while we responsibly manage our budget.
