UPGRADING TWO SCHOOLS IN SASKATOON

Released on August 22, 2002

The provincial government is investing $307,000 on additional school

improvement projects at two schools in Saskatoon.



"We are investing in schools, in students, and in the future of

Saskatchewan," Learning Minister Jim Melenchuk said.



St. Joseph High School will receive $182,000 for additional space to

accommodate students with special needs. Evan Hardy Collegiate will

receive $111,000 for two relocatable classrooms. These projects bring the

province's total contribution to education facilty improvements to $1.3

million in Saskatoon this year. Each project is being cost shared with the

Saskatoon Catholic and public school divisions.



The provincial government is also contributing $14,000 toward a conceptual

planning study commissioned by the City of Saskatoon for an integrated

community/education facility in northeast Saskatoon.



"With $40 million in the Department of Learning's capital budget for

schools, approximately 140 school construction, renovation or upgrading

projects will be funded in communities around the province this year,"

Melenchuk said. "An additional $20 million for school facilities was made

available, over a four year period, from the Centenary Fund, which was

announced in 2000."



Additional projects will be approved throughout the fiscal year.



"These school improvement projects are part of the government's commitment

to invest in modern, well-equipped learning facilities for Saskatchewan

students," Melenchuk added.
