Lake Manitoba First Nation is getting one million dollars to pay for new portable classrooms.
The community, which is in the Interlake south of the Narrows, has around 75 students who returned to school at the start of the year without classrooms.
The rooms were ordered before funding was confirmed because students were withdrawn from Lundar School, where the students had been attending last year.
For 12 years most of the high school students were sent to Lundar because the First Nation School only went from kindergarten to Grade 8.
High school students are taking classes in the elementary school's gym and other classrooms in the school.
Indigenous Services Canada confirmed today up to $1 million in funding would be made available to the community.
Earlier this month the chief of the community said there was a delay in ordering the portables because the promised funding wasn’t coming through.
