Construction of a new elementary school has been delayed due to what the Lakehead Public School board is calling unforeseen circumstances and rising costs.
The school is to replace Agnew H. Johnston public and Edgewater Park.
The board has posted on its Facebook page the new school won’t be ready until September of 2020.
The board adds costs have risen above what the Ministry of Education had budgeted for, thus resulting in no floor space for a music room.
