Education Minister meets with catholic school division amid JP II tour
Work is progressing on improvements for John Paul II Collegiate (JP II) in North Battleford.
Education Minister Dustin Duncan toured the school while meeting with board members of the Light of Christ Catholic School Division (LOCCSD). This made up for a previously scheduled date to talk about the renovation project at JP II.
“We had a really great meeting, talked about seeing the project move forward,” Duncan said. “We also discussed topics such as the mental health of staff and students.”
The province is continuing support in the $11.5 million renovation project. Duncan said that given the rising costs of goods and services in the past year, they’ve increased their commitment to handle increases that will come with those higher costs.
