Assistant Superintendent Marlene Dergousoff is retiring in July after 41.9 years of uninterrupted service to children and families in BC, with the past 18 years being in Saanich. Marlene was principal of Durrance, Brentwood and Bayside before moving into district level leadership as Assistant Superintendent - Student Services. Within this role Marlene was responsible for elementary leadership, all district special education, early learning, and indigenous education. She is a friend to us all and we are going to miss her wisdom, energy, passion and winning personality.

Teachers' opposition to Bill 22 has resulted in many teachers standing down from extra-curricular involvement. That stance may be strengthened through a province-wide vote being conducted by the BCTF of its members on April 17-18. This update contains information on the status of extra-curricular activities for the spring in Saanich.

On May, 2, 2012 the Board of Education will decide whether or not to adopt a 2012/13 calendar with a two-week spring break.
