Ontario government details additional pandemic funding for schools
Feb 5 2021 - The Ontario Government has announced an additional $381 million for Ontario schools through the federal Safe Return to Class Fund.
According to a statement from the office of Daryl Kramp, MPP for Hastings, Lennox & Addington, the funding will be used to continue to improve air quality and ventilation in schools, support online learning, promote student mental health and hire additional staff. With this new funding, Kramp said schools will have been provided with more than $1.6 billion to implement pandemic safety measures.
“It’s been an impressive and continuous improvement for schools and students since last March,” Kramp said. “Air quality has been a big focus with over 23,000 HEPA filters and 20,000 portable HEPA units, and nearly 3,000 other ventilation devices installed province-wide.”
