The Town Hall has provided the financial grants to parents so that they have access to the money, before the beginning of the new school term

 


The residents of the municipality of Calvià, with children in Infant School, Primary & Secondary (obligatory) will benefit, once again, this year 2010 from the grants, which have been given by the Calvià Town Hall, for the purchase of text books.


As in previous campaigns, applications were submitted during the month of June and these, concluded on 2nd August. The payment was made on 27th August, maintaining the commitment to deposit the grants before the books are purchased.


Calvià Town Hall was the pioneer of the Balearics with this initiative for the 2006/2007 school term. The grants, which range from 35 to 65€ in Infant School to between 110 and 150€ in Primary Education to between 200 and 225€ in obligatory Secondary Education, help families with the huge expense they are met with when the schools return to the new term, after the summer holidays.
