Public Board Receives Cash to Operate Schools

The Ministry of Education plans to give the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board just under $3-million to operate elementary schools in Upsala, Pickle Lake and Savant Lake.
Superintendent of Finance Dean Carrie says they will be reviewing the financial records for those schools and establishing operating budgets.
Carrie says the funding is sufficent; but notes the Ministry projection doesn’t include additional cash to offer new programs at the schools.
