New School Construction Meeting

It could be another two weeks before construction begins on the new Robert Moore School.

Trustees with the Rainy River District School Board are meeting this morning to discuss a number of items related to the project's site management plan.

They're approval is needed to acquire a building permit.

Education Director Jack McMaster says the board has been working with the town, along with the Ministries of Education, Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Environment on that plan.

The board must also wait Ministry approval on a change to the town's official plan permitting the new school to be built on land behind the existing one.

That approval could come July 17, allowing construction to begin shortly afterwards.
