Vernon families who are struggling to provide for their children and their schooling are getting a financial boost.
The Vernon School District is receiving $260,000 from the B.C. Government, in an effort to help schools provide support directly to students.
“When our kids are supported in the classroom, our community is strengthened,” said Harwinder Sandhu, MLA for Vernon-Monashee. “I’m glad that our government is providing funding for schools to help pay for resources and extracurricular activities for students, so they can learn, play and grow and families can keep more money in their pockets.
