A massive upgrade program over the next 12 months will smash through school maintenance backlogs at Glen Innes High, Glen Innes Public and Glen Innes West Infants School, MP Adam Marshall said last week.
“This funding is a huge shot in the arm for schools across the region and will help principals take back control of their maintenance,” he said.
Almost 60 public schools across the region will see upgrades ranging from improved air-conditioning to fresh paint, carpets and signage. And it’s money well spent, with public schools projected to grow significantly in the next 15 years.
