Last night, Mountain View School Division had its Regular Board Meeting.
One of the first things discussed was COVID funding, which was approved by the board.
In May, Manitoba Education notified school divisions that $40 million would be allocated to divisions on a per-pupil basis, $615,114 of which was given to Mountain View School Division.
The division also received $83,713 from the Safe Schools Fund.
The proposed plan is for this additional funding to be broken down into the following areas:
- $400 thousand for additional instructional staff
- $214 thousand for operations maintenance
- $11 thousand for summer programming
- $25 thousand for early years speech-language support
- $8 thousand for professional development
- $40 thousand for youth support workers
COVID-19 protocols were also discussed, such as cohorts, and immunization and testing requirements.
The next regular board meeting is scheduled for September 13th.
