CBE Anticipates New School Announcements

 
"The Calgary Board of Education is excited the Government of Alberta is announcing new schools for Calgary on Wednesday.

The government chooses which schools to announce from a list of priority projects which the CBE submits annually in the form of a capital plan. The 2013-2016 Three-Year School Capital Plan, submitted in the spring of 2012, requested 36 new schools and major modernization projects for a total of $667,000,000. The CBE has used the same methodology to create its capital plan for 10 years.

The Capital Plan was approved at an open meeting of the Board of Trustees March 20, 2012. For more information, see our publications page where the School Capital Plan is listed.

The CBE looks forward to Wednesday’s announcement. We are delighted that this community’s need for new schools is being recognized. Jeff Johnson, Minister of Education, is announcing the new schools at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the YMCA lobby, 7556 Falconridge Blvd. N.E.

The next CBE Three-Year Capital Plan, which covers the period of 2014-2017, will be discussed at a public board meeting this spring."
