On January 7, the Honourable Krista Lynn Howell, Minister of Education, announced the recipients of this year's Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Special Initiatives Grants.
To support school initiatives that establish safe and inclusive learning environments for all students, the Provincial Government is providing a total of $11,000 for these grants. Eleven schools have been selected to receive $1,000 each.
A list of award recipients for 2024 is available in the backgrounder.
The Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Special Initiatives Grants aim to support specific initiatives in schools that are student focused. Schools are recognized for their efforts in achieving safe, caring and inclusive learning environments, promoting positive school climates, and sustaining safe and inclusive communities that celebrate equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility.
The Department of Education is committed to building an educational community in Newfoundland and Labrador that fosters safe, caring, inclusive and healthy learning environments for all students and staff in the K-12 public education system.
