That tally matches the total pledges of $43,820 the accountant’s collected since the February fundraiser started in 2013 up to 2020.

Costs tied to running a virtual school during the COVID-19 pandemic have pushed Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board into the red for 2020-2021. The English Catholic board passed a balanced budget of $79.9 million last August. But additional staff needed for Our Lady of Lourdes Virtual Academy, now known as Holy Trinity Catholic Virtual Academy, and Holy Angels Virtual Academy for secondary students, resulted in a deficit of $291,384, said superintendent of business Justin Pino in a report to trustees. Expected cost of the virtual school for 2020-2021 is $2.7 million. HSCDSB is receiving funding – $1.4 million from the provincial government, $900,000 from the federal government – to help with online education costs.
