An update from the province Wednesday on the school expansion projects in Stratford and with LM Montgomery School.
Classrooms are being added to address overcrowding issues.
For the $6.6 million Stratford project, 14 classrooms will be added and used by students who will transfer over from Glen Stewart Elementary. There will also be new specialty teaching areas such as new EAL, guidance and resource rooms.
The $5.3 million L.M. Montgomery project includes the addition of 10 classrooms. With the removal of two mobile classrooms, there will be a net gain of eight classrooms and room for growth of 160 students.
The provincial government is taking an aggressive approach to planning so that construction can begin in early spring, and the schools will be ready for students in September 2019.
