The Flin Flon School Division Superintendent Tammy Ballantyne reported this past Tuesday that students and staff are looking forward to the start of their outdoor education programs. She went on to thank the parents and guardians who have volunteered their time to chaperone students as well as assist in other duties for the planned trips to Camp Whitney. The first canoe trip is scheduled for May 25th-26th if the ice has melted by then. In all the Division has nine scheduled canoe and Camp Whitney trips for grades six through twelve.
The Division has received additional special needs funding in the amount of 37,107 dollars from the Manitoba government who announced earlier this year that seven million dollars was available to boost special needs funding across the Province’s School Divisions. The Board also passed a motion to approve the 2023-2024 to 2027-2028 capital plan and submit it to Manitoba Capital Planning and Agreement Management. The capital plan will see various upgrades to the Division’s Schools.
