“Cautious optimism” for SD 8 funding decisions

The Kootenay Lake School Board has chosen four schools to potentially receive government funding in hopes of keeping them open.

Winlaw, Jewett and Salmo Elementary as well as WE Graham will all be recommended to get a piece of the BC Government’s Rural Education Enhancement Fund.

Area D Director Aimee Watson hopes this means Jewett can remain a community hub for Meadow Creek.
