At an emergency meeting of the Campbell River Board of Education on June 26 the board accepted the resignation of Superintendent Dr. Jeremy Morrow. Dr. Morrow will be leaving the school district as of July 31 to accept the position of superintendent with the Comox Valley School District.
"Dr. Morrow's commitment to keeping children at the centre of every decision and aligning our system around the board's strategic plan has been change making over the past five years," says School District 72 Board Chair Kat Eddy. "It is from this strong foundation that the board continues to draft our upcoming 2024-2029 strategic plan, due for release in January 2024."
The Campbell River School District will be engaging a professional search agency to immediately begin the process of inviting professionals throughout the province to join the district in its continued commitment to improving equity and learning outcomes for all students.
In the meantime, the board is pleased to announce the appointment of Associate Superintendent Philip Cizmic as interim superintendent. Cizmic has served as associate superintendent for the past five years.
