Comox Valley Schools has a new superintendent.
Tom Demeo is no longer the superintendent. The district says that Demeo “has concluded his duties as superintendent with Comox Valley Schools, [and] the district would like to thank him for his many years of service in public education, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Acting superintendent Geoff Manning is now in the role and has been serving as assistant superintendent of schools since 2019. He was also the K-12 director of instruction with the district for two years.
“We want to assure you that the board is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of services,” said the district. “Mr. Manning is a long-time leader with Comox Valley Schools and the Board of Education has confidence in his leadership as we move forward.”
The district adds they will continue to prioritize the well-being and success of their students and staff.
