District 8 can’t confirm the exact number of dollars they are getting from the province for support staff, but say it’s in the $300 thousand dollar ballpark.Superintendent Susan Tipper tells CHSJ News, it’s wonderful news for the district because they will be able to reinstate many programs.
Tipper says the money will help the district reinstate positive learning environments, and if need be hire more behaviour experts, and teacher assistants.Education Minister Roland Hache announced previously that money will be taken from the Innovative Learning Fund to help reverse many of the proposed cuts to school districts.
