School Programs to be Reinstated

Here is some news educators across the province have been eagerly awaiting---the provincial government will be putting $2.9 million dollars towards reinstating services to school libraries and intervention programs.
Education Minister Roland Hache made the announcement after reviewing the department's budget, and consulting stakeholders.The money is coming from the Innovative Learning Fund, which Hache had put a freeze on.
The ILF will still exist, but at a budget of $1 million dollars rather than $5 million.
School districts and the department of education will be collaborating with union representatives in the coming weeks to ensure staff is in place before school opens in September.
