School construction and upgrades platforms

Here's what the 2023 PEI election parties are promising.

Create a $25M fund over three years for school infrastructure

"Create a School Infrastructure Revitalization Fund investing $25 Million Dollars over the next three years to ensure our schools are safe, modernized teaching and learning environments" — peipc.ca, 2023-03-20
Add Automated External Defibrillators to all schools
Expand and renovate Queen Charlotte Intermediate School
Use more solar energy at schools
Add plans for a junior high school for the Stratford Campus
Create outdoor learning spaces

"Establish outdoor learning spaces to stimulate new educational opportunities and a greater appreciation for our environment" — peipc.ca, 2023-03-20

Take projected population growth into account when planning schools

"Better plan school infrastructure for expected population growth, while keeping rural schools open, while building the schools previously announced, like the planned Stratford school.

PEI has experienced rapid population growth in recent years and projected continued population growth over the coming decades. This will increase demands on public infrastructure, including Island schools. School infrastructure planning must take into account our actual and projected population growth to prevent overcrowding and ensure that high quality educational facilities are available and nearby." — peigreens.ca backgrounder, 2023-03-15
Provide $500K to monitor air quality in schools

"A Green government would allocate $500,000 in operational funding to undertake air quality monitoring and determine the priority locations for ventilation improvements. Any leftover funding would be dedicated to interim measures to improve air quality like the use of indoor air purifiers." — peigreens.ca backgrounder, 2023-03-15
Build previously announced schools, including the Stratford school

We don't have any Liberal policies on School construction and upgrades.
