The New Westminster school district recently hired two new staff members to work at its administration offices - and one of the hires is a familiar face.
Sheldon Lee is returning to the district as its director of finance. Lee is a certified management accountant (CMA) who previously worked for the school district as an assistant secretary treasurer.
Lee will provide accounting services to New Westminster school district under a shared services delivery arrangement.
The district expects to save money by sharing Lee with two other school districts (School District No. 84 - Vancouver Island West), and School District No. 49 (Central Coast - in Bella Coola).
Robert Weston will be the district's new director of human resources beginning Aug. 1. He takes over from Phil Cookson - the incoming principal at New Westminster Secondary School, taking over for Mary Bushman who retires this month.
Weston is currently manager of labour relations with the Chilliwack school district and previously spent 12 years as a negotiator and employee and labour relations consultant with the Health Employers' Association.
