UPGRADING NORTHERN SCHOOLS

Released on July 9, 2002

The Provincial Government is investing $392,000 on upgrading three schools

in northern communities.



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

Saskatchewan," Learning Minister Jim Melenchuk said.



La Loche Community School will receive $190,000 in provincial government

funding for a teacherage, a roof replacement project at the elementary

school and to construct a new relocatable classroom at the high school.



Churchill Composite High School in La Ronge will receive $202,000 to

construct two new relocatable classrooms. These projects will be cost

shared with the Northern Lights School Division.



"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 announced throughout the province in the next

few weeks.



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

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

students," Melenchuk added.
