The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board has approved their nearly 96 million dollar budget for next year.
Business superintendent Justin PINO (PEA-know) says the board passed a motion to approve the budget, which includes the hiring of a STEM classroom teacher and a lab technician who will carry out the outreach program out of the lab at Holy Angels Learning Centre in Sault Ste. Marie.
He adds new Core Education Funding, and Responsive Education Programs funding will ensure continuation of the Math Achievement Plan and allows the board to establish a math lead at the Superintendent level, an Indigenous Grad Coach and new Special Education Needs Transition funding.
The board’s 2024-25 budget is based on projected numbers of 3,713 elementary students and 823 secondary students for October 2024.
