Roof replacements, new boilers and other small maintenance issues are a need for the Arrow Lakes school district, but funding to complete the projects is still pending.

…. Another concern for the district is that no new money will be received to implement all-day kindergarten next year. Posnikoff was under the assumption that funds would be re-allocated to fund the program. ….

“In terms of a discreet [Kindergarten], we’re looking at probably implementation first year at Nakusp here, and in the following year in the Southern Zone at Lucerne,” says Posnikoff. “It’s going to be very dependent on numbers. It’s a matter of how we run a discreet kindergarten program and a multi-age one in both the peripheries in Lucerne and in the Southern Zone, where we have a K –3 and a K –4 class. At that level, we would be adding the kids for a half day without adding additional resources.”
