There will be winners and losers in Rocky View Schools as 12 new modular classrooms have been approved for the public school division from the Alberta government to be constructed by next year, while at the same time RVS trustees approved the moving of 12 existing modulars away from other communities to meet more pressing growth needs in other areas of the division.
Four of those 12 new modulars will land at Rainbow Creek Elementary in Chestermere, and three at Fireside School in Cochrane. In Airdrie, two will land at Ralph McCall, and one at Herons Crossing. The final two will land at W.G. Murdoch High in Crossfield.
These new modulars are in addition to the nine new modulars allocated to RVS this spring.
The reallocations, on the other hand, will impact communities in southeast Rocky View disproportionately this time around.
Of the 12 planned reallocations, a total of eight modulars will be coming from Langdon School and four from Indus School.
The Rocky View Schools board of trustees approved the motion to locate the 12 new and move the 12 existing modulars by a vote of 7-1 during the Sept. 19 meeting.
More details to come.
