The Ontario Ministry of Education has announced that St. Clair Catholic District School Board’s request for $26.7 million in funding has been approved.
The funding will go toward two new Catholic elementary schools in Chatham – both of which would include child care facilities.
According to the SCCDSB, one school will be built on the north side of Chatham to replace St. Vincent, St. Agnes, and Our Lady of Fatima, and one will be built on the south side to replace St. Joseph, St. Ursula, and Georges P. Vanier.
Exact locations of the schools has yet to be determined.
The SCCDSB will release more details about the two new schools in the next few weeks.
