Robotics 2(Robotics Team 1305 file photo) Five programs and initiatives will continue to be funded by the Near North District School Board Trustee Initiative Fund.

The board approved $41,000 to go towards the Robotics Initiative, Student Senate, Festival of the Sound, a system wide track meet and the Reach for the Top program.

Chair Dave Thompson says they could always use more funding for more programs but these five will benefit the most students, although he says there’s never enough to go around.

Thompson says these are programs that will reach across the entire board.
