Unexpected construction delays to their new school will force students attending Mine Centre School to begin the year in the old facility.
The school had been slated for closure, but staff were asked back in June to prepare it for the start of classes in case the new school wasn't ready.
Board officials say the use of the old school should only be temporary.
