NEW SCHOOLS AND MODERNIZATIONS

We believe that, wherever they live, students deserve a great education, great teachers and high-quality places to learn.

The Board of Trustees approves and submits our Three-Year Capital Plan to the provincial government each year to ask for funding for new schools and modernizations. Edmonton Public Schools decides and prioritizes which projects go into the plan, and the government decides which ones get funded and when funding will be received.

Our Board of Trustees continues to ask the government for much-needed funding for new schools in growing areas of our city, as well as funding to modernize or replace older schools to make sure all students are in high-quality learning environments.

Funding stages

Construction funding

This level of funding includes:

  • getting final prices for materials and labour (tendering)
  • constructing the building
  • making final adjustments after students and staff move in

Design funding

This level of funding brings a project to the point where it’s ready for construction. It includes design and preparing construction tender documents. Further funding will be needed to finalize designs and build these schools.

Planning funding

At this level of funding, the project’s expected scope and schedule are finalized, and the site is made ready for construction.

Modernizations

There are currently no modernization projects for Edmonton Public Schools.
