May 15: Public Info Session on revitalization of education in Espanola

Rainbow District School Board has received funding from the Ministry of Education to revitalize education in Espanola to accommodate two distinct schools, A.B. Ellis Public School (JK to Grade 8) and Espanola High School (Grade 9 to 12), on the Espanola High School site. Work will begin this summer with an anticipated completion date of the fall of 2015.

 

Details of the project, including architectural renderings, will be shared at a Public Information Session on Thursday, May 15, 2014 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm in the gym at Espanola High School, 147 Spruce Street. Everyone in the community is invited to attend.

“We appreciated the input that we received from the Espanola community during the fall public information session and have incorporated many of the suggestions in our plans,” said Norm Blaseg, Director of Education for Rainbow District School Board. 

“We welcome this opportunity to provide an update on the project as we move forward,” he added.  “Our goal is to maximize the use of space while ensuring that all students continue to have access to the best programming possible in quality school facilities.”
