Surplus school sites
On June 18, 2024, the Board of Trustees declared six school sites surplus to the Division’s needs. In June 2026, Alberta Infrastructure assumed ownership of the following surplus sites:
- Lawton School site
- Montrose School site
- Mount Royal School site
- Queen Mary Park School site
- R. J. Scott School site
- Rundle School site
Rundle School has been subdivided from the Ivor Dent School parcel, through the municipal subdivision process. With the subdivision complete, the transfer of Rundle School to Alberta Infrastructure is scheduled on August 4, 2026. Until the transfer is complete, Edmonton Public Schools remains the registered owner of the property.
None of these sites are currently being used as Division schools. Students from communities which may have been served by these school sites in the past now attend new or modernized buildings.
What does this mean?
When a school site is declared surplus, the Division no longer has a need for the building. Typically, this decision is made because the cost of operating and maintaining the building outweighs any potential revenue that might be received by renting it out.
What will happen to the school now?
As the owners of the properties, Alberta Infrastructure will decide on how they will be used.
