Several area schools are to close with the planned September opening of a new elementary school on the same site as Lasalle Secondary, a project beset by construction delays and cost increases
Ahead of the planned September 2023 opening of the new elementary school under construction in New Sudbury, the Rainbow District School Board voted Feb. 21 to declare a couple of elementary schools slated for closure as “surplus.”
Students at both Carl A. Nesbitt and Ernie Checkeris schools are to attend the new elementary school, as are students from Westmount Avenue Public School. Westmount, however, has not been declared surplus by the board. The Ministry of Education has since increased its funding contribution to $14.1 million, and the board has put in a request for another $908,475 to help defray increased project costs due to COVID-19 .Construction on the school also ran into a snag due to soil instability issues in the fall of 2021, which is responsible for the construction delay, as well as tacking another $2.1 million onto the project’s costs.
