Board of Trustees Appropriate $4 Million Dollars for Valleyview Public School Capital Project
Media Release - February 13, 2018
At the regular February Board Meeting of the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board, Trustees took the proactive step of approving the appropriation of $4 million dollars towards the Valleyview Public School Capital Project. The Board recognizes that the next step in this critical work is with the Ministry of Education.
The rebuilding and replacement of Valleyview Public School in Kenora is the number one major capital project for the KPDSB, and in recent years, has gained increasing attention and urgency as enrolment at the school continues to grow. Enrolment at Valleyview Public School has doubled in the last five years (2013-2018), with increases both in English and French Immersion programming. The school is home to the largest primary cohort of students across the entire KPDSB.
The funds have now been appropriated for the Valleyview Public School Capital Project and are an indication of the Board’s commitment to both the Ministry of Education and the Valleyview Public School Community.
Estimated costs for the replacement of Valleyview Public School is $16 million.
Sean Monteith, Director of Education, stated “Valleyview Public School is the number one, and officially the only, major capital project that remains for the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board. By allocating the largest investment in our history, from reserves, for the purposes of a new elementary school, the Board has demonstrated an investment to the Valleyview Public School Community. The parents, staff, and especially the students of Valleyview deserve nothing but the best; and that is exactly what we are determined to give them.”
Dave Penney, Chair of the Board, added “We are confident that our Ministry of Education partners will continue to support and demonstrate their belief in the Valleyview Public School Community by enhancing the commitment that the KPDSB Trustees have responsibly made here tonight.”
