Textbook rental plans eyed by Medicine Hat boards
Public and separate school boards in Medicine Hat will study textbook rental schemes next summer to ease costs for families. St Louis School Board plans to expand a limited rental program used in two schools while St Patrick's and other schools already operate small schemes. Projections show an initial cost of about 15 per student but potential annual savings and a self funding library over three years. Home economics and commerce courses expand at St Theresa Academy with new equipment. Separate school inquiry into woodworking access at Toronto St School faces constraints due to current public school usage.
