Public School Board Approves new Lodging Policy

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board has approved a new policy to
help out students who have to travel a long distance to go to school.

The public school board says its willing to help out with board, lodging and
transportation for students in Pickle Lake and Upsala who go to high school
in other communities.

Dean Carrie is the superintendant of business and says the policy only covers
certain students.

The school board will provide up to 500 dollars a month for room and board
and 100 dollars for transportation.
