More funding to improve schools through better ventilation, reduced emissions and increased accessibility is going to school districts around the province. These annual capital programs are creating safer, healthier schools and supporting CleanBC initiatives. Investments in school maintenance are part of the Province’s work to ensure students have the best learning experience. The Government of B.C. is providing $240.5 million in 2022-23 for school maintenance projects, which includes $48.4 million to upgrade HVAC systems at 90 schools throughout the province. This year, $15 million will go to purchase at least 82 new school buses, including electric school buses. In addition to maintenance projects, the Province has invested more than $2.6 billion in over 130 major school capital projects in the past four years. To support this momentum, the Province will invest $930 million in the coming year to continue building new and improved schools where they’re needed in B.C.
