Kids get freebies on first day at school

The 2015-2016 academic year kicked off August 24, with Chapala authorities distributing free backpacks stuffed with classroom supplies to 11,033 students attending the community’s pre-school, primary and secondary level public schools. Mayor Joaquin Huerta popped in to the Sor Juan Inés de la Cruz kindergarten early Monday to deliver kits to an eager throng of nippers. The cost of the local Mochilas con Utiles program runs to 876,000 pesos this year, with funds drawn from state and municipal coffers in a 50-50 split.
