The implementation of an all-day kindergarten program at St. Michael's School in Fort Frances will mean little change.
Education Director for the Northwest Catholic District School Board Mary-Catherine Kelly says Tuesday's announcement expands the school's current program.
"We have always offered the junior kindergarten program as twice a week and alternating Fridays," says Kelly. "We've been doing that on our accord, our own dime so to speak. So we are highly committed to a full-day kind of program."
Kelly says the board also received $100-thousand for school upgrades to permit the program for the fall of 2011.
