The Ministry of Education has approved $2.5 million in projects from School District 72’s five-year capital plan request under the school enhancement program, carbon neutral capital program, and bus acquisition program.
“We are making historic investments in school capital projects across the province,” said Rachna Singh, Minister of Education.
“Schools are the cornerstones of our communities, and our government is continuing to invest in our school infrastructure to ensure that our kids have clean, safe, modern places to learn, grow and play.”
The money will be spent on heating and ventilation upgrades at Quadra Elementary School, Sayward Elementary School, and Southgate Middle School; a roofing upgrade at Southgate Middle School; electrical charging stations at Cortes Island School, Sayward Elementary and the maintenance yard; and two new school buses.
