Provincial Curriculum

A new curriculum bank called Provincial Curriculum was created, taking copies from the existing bank called Provincial Curriculum-Revised 2024. The new curriculum bank then had sections removed and new subjects added. The Provincial Curriculum bank will now be the go-forward curriculum that PowerSchool will maintain.

In the Summer release, unused banks, including the Provincial Curriculum-Revised 2024 bank, will be retired, unavailable for users to select from to avoid confusion. Going forward, a year value will be indicated next to the subject to identify the versioning for future reference.
