The Board of Trustees approved year-end financial statements at its meeting on Monday.

Among the improvements to its facilities were a two-room childcare addition to St. Teresa of Calcutta in Walkerton, a roof replacement at Sacred Heart High School in Walkerton and a playground at Immaculate Conception School in Formosa. The board also invested in HVAC unit upgrades, new touchless water-bottle filling stations and various technology infrastructure improvements at its schools.
