Education Council Approves Upgrades To Local Schools

Some much needed improvements are in the mix for two of our local schools.


The Anglophone South District Education Council giving the nod for upgrades to the Blacks Harbour Elementary School bathrooms, as well as a portion of new roofing for the St. Stephen Middle School.

Anglophone South District Superintendent Zoe Watson tells Tide News the Council approved the upgrades at their last meeting in September, but a few revisions needed to be made about the cost of the bathroom upgrades, which will be $235,000, as well as which portion of the roof will be done at SSMS.
She says the requests will be sent off to the District of Education, and usually around Christmas time the Council will find out which projects are approved.

Watson says both projects will hopefully take place in summer of 2013.
