History
The Business Services Branch was formed in the new Ministry of Education, Elementary/Secondary Business and Finance Division. It initially had one unit, the Capital Unit.
In 2002 it contained three units - the Co-Operative Services Unit, Facilities Architecture and Assessment Unit, and Facilities Information and Assessment Unit.
In 2003 the Branch added the Student Transportation Unit, a function which was moved over from the Education Finance Branch.
In 2004 the four units were rationalized into two units, the Pupil Accommodation Unit (combining the two Facilities Units) and the Transportation and Co-Operative Services Unit.
By 2008 the Branch had been dissolved, with the functions split between the Capital Programs Branch (which took over pupil accommodation) and the School Business Support Branch (which took over the transportation and cooperative services function).
