Public School Board Gets Funding For Kindergarten programs

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is getting some capital funding from the province for its full-day kindergarten programs.

The Ministry of Education has promised 1.1 million dollars to add classroom space at Valleyview and King George.

The public school board says it will be building an addition to Valleyview, which should be ready by the 2013/2014 school year.

Director of Education, Jack McMaster says the extra space will help with their planning as they get ready to launch a French Immersion program at Valleyview as well.

The money will also help refurbish classroom space at King George.
