Rocky View Schools will be getting help from Alberta Education with some Airdrie Schools that are nearing capacity.

At last Thursday’s RVS Board Meeting (March 15th), the Board announced that the division was approved for a request of 10 modular classrooms to two Airdrie Elementary Schools.

Windsong Heights will receive 6 new units while Heloise Lorimer School will be given 4.

Last Fall the Board applied for 23 new modulars in five schools across Rocky View but were only approved for 13 portables at three schools.

The 6 requested for East Lake School in Chestermere and 4 for Langdon School were not approved.

RVS was also given the green light to relocate 8 existing modulars to Westbrook School outside Cochrane and 4 to Indus School to help them accommodate students during their two-year renovation plan.
