Full Day Kindergarten Expanded

The provincial government is providing funding to both the Rainy River District School Board and the Northwest Catholic District School Board to expand full-day kindergarten.

The funding has been earmarked for Robert Moore School in Fort Frances and Sacred Heart School in Sioux Lookout.

Classes at Sacred Heart will begin in the fall of 2012.

The public board had previously decided to move up the start of the Robert Moore program to this fall by covering the start-up costs itself before provincial funding kicks in.
