NNDSB_logoThe Near North District School Board Charity Works Registered Charity has been set up for graduating students. Chair Dave Thompson says this is on-going funding allocated for graduating students.

They can apply for certain bursaries as they head to post-secondary education.

Thompson says the funding comes in through donations. He says it also assures those donating that their money is not going into the black hole of operations, and being used for its intended use – the benefit and success of the students.

He says the Board approved a motion to allow the Chair, Director of Education and Superintendent of Business to be Directors of the funding. He adds there is just under $960,000 dollars in the account this year.
