New School Build UpdateÌý

June 24, 2025

We are excited to be moving forward with a new elementary school in the Millbrook area. School board staff provided an update to the Board of Trustees at the June 19 Board Meeting about the ongoing work and planning to support the building of the new school.Ìý

As you know, in January, the Ministry of Education announced a $24.2M capital funding investment for a new elementary school in Millbrook, with 481 elementary student spaces and 73 licensed child care spaces, located at Fallis Lane & County Road 10 in Cavan Monaghan’s Towerhill subdivision.

The project is progressing through early design stages, with key milestones being closely monitored to maintain alignment with Ministry of Education timelines. Once the initial site plan and drawings are complete, the next step in the process will be to collaborate with students, staff and the community to help inform visioning and establish community needs for the new school.

Specific planning updates and anticipated timelines for this project include:

-ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý ÐßÐßÊÓƵ staff are currently working with the architect to finalize the space template for Ministry of Education approval, which is a prerequisite for proceeding to detailed design.

-ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý ÐßÐßÊÓƵ staff are working to secure the site plan agreement so that construction can begin immediately once the purchase is finalized.
