The Mountain View School Division has been working to improve accessibility needs in their schools.
The division recently received funding from the province for additional accessibility options such as grooming rooms, elevators, and wheelchair ramps.
Bart Michaleski, MVSD Secretary-Treasurer, says construction is currently underway at Henderson Elementary School to install new grooming rooms.
“We actually received funding support for a grooming room at Henderson and another one at Mackenzie. It’s for students with special needs and that have those special washroom requirements, and grooming rooms are designed for those purposes.”
Michaleski adds that the division has started planning for all accessibility projects in the region.
Upgrades are projected to cost around $2 -$2.5 million.
