The greater Woodstock area will see the construction of two new kindergarten to grade eight schools, but not as early as previously hoped.
New Brunswick Minister of Education Jody Carr unveiled his department's capital estimates in the provincial legislature on Wednesday, December 14th. His speech stated that funding has been allotted for completion of architectural planning of both projects. An original press release from the Department of Education said that the new facilities, which will replace Southern Carleton Elementary School, Woodstock Centennial Elementary School, Debec Elementary School and Woodstock Middle School, would be constructed as early as this year. However, the report presented to the legislature said otherwise.
Carr told the legislature that this year's capital budget has confirmed plans to move forward with a new K-8 school to replace Southern Carleton Elementary School in Bedell. Woodstock Middle School currently operates at full capacity and has a portable classroom on site.
The new school to be erected will have a capacity of approximately 650 students. The project to replace WCES will be similar.
