A number of area schools will benefit from some recently announced funding from the provincial Ministry of Education.
Hastings-Lennox and Addington MPP Daryl Kramp says the riding will get almost $255,000 for repairs and upgrades at various schools.
The money will be used for upgrades to heating and air conditioning systems, interior lighting and roof work at Deseronto, Harmony, Marmora and Stirling Public schools, as well as the Algonquin Lakeshore Catholic School Board Education Centre in Napanee.
The money is part of a total $95.4 million being handed out for repairs and upgrades province-wide.
