The Seine River School Division announced on March 12, 2026, that it is moving school principals into new roles across the region, including in Ste. Anne, Manitoba. These leadership changes are intended to provide stable management for local schools during a period of organizational restructuring.
Division officials say the decision was made with the best interests of students and staff in mind. The announcement follows the recent approval of the 2026/27 budget, which is part of a larger plan to stabilize the school board’s finances and management.
The division has been following a recovery plan since a 2024 provincial investigation revealed a $5.8 million deficit. As part of the effort to fix this shortfall, the new budget includes a proposed property tax increase of 11.4 percent for local homeowners.
For the community at Ste. Anne Collegiate, these leadership shifts could result in changes to school culture and how the administration communicates with parents. Residents are encouraged to monitor official school websites for specific details regarding who will be leading their local buildings.
