UPGRADING EIGHT YORKTON AREA SCHOOLS

Released on April 20, 2006

The Government of Saskatchewan is investing approximately $1.1 million to improve eight schools in the Yorkton area.

"The future of our province will be defined by young people," Learning Minister Deb Higgins said. "We need to access every advantage our society and economy can provide to ensure that they achieve excellence in our education system. Investing in our schools will go a long way toward helping students reach their potential."

The capital projects include:

• The Horizon School Division will receive approximately $220,000 for renovations at Punnichy Elementary School;

• The Horizon School Division will receive approximately $64,000 to improve accessibility at Foam Lake Elementary School and approximately $34,000 for Raymore School to build an accessibility washroom;

• The Good Spirit School Division will receive approximately $329,000 for partial roof replacements at Esterhazy Central High School, Langenburg High School and Sturgis Composite High School;

• The Good Spirit School Division will receive approximately $300,000 for renovations and upgrades at Yorkton Regional High School; and

• The Good Spirit School Division will receive approximately $156,000 for asbestos removal at Melville Comprehensive High School.

These projects will be cost-shared with the school divisions listed above.

The projects are part of the provincial government's investment of $7 million to improve the learning environment in 55 Saskatchewan schools. With these projects, the total commitment by government to K-12 capital projects this fiscal year is $22 million.

"These projects demonstrate our continued commitment to working with school divisions to improve the learning environment in Saskatchewan schools," Higgins said. "They will provide enhanced learning opportunities through high quality programs and services in modern well-equipped facilities."
