About 200 students from the flood-destroyed Elbow Park School will be heading back to class on Monday at the modular classrooms where they’ll be taught for the next two years.
It’s been more than six months since the flooding, and classrooms are now ready in portables set up at Earl Grey School.
The buildings cost $4.2M and the province has already said they will build a $1.1M gymnasium for the students housed there.
The students had been attending classes ten minutes away at Eugene Coste School for the first four months of the school year.
Officials with the Calgary Board of Education say they will be demolishing and replacing Elbow Park School because that would be cheaper than restoring the old building.
When the classrooms are no longer needed, they will be redeployed to other areas in need of school space.
