The South Regional Office supports schools by helping coordinate District resources, services and expertise based on each school’s needs. Through the Regional Support Hub model, schools receive more coordinated support through a unified team approach. This means principals and school teams are not expected to navigate multiple District departments independently. Instead, the Regional Office helps connect schools with the appropriate support in areas such as academics, student services, Exceptional Student Education, operations, leadership support, professional learning and other District services.
