The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is still hopeful that construction can begin this year on a new elementary school in Dryden.
The board had to go back to the drawing board after the last design came in way over budget.
Dean Carrie is the Superintendant of Business and says they are trying to stay within the 14.3 million dollar allocation from the Ministry of Education.
The initial design had room for as many as 600 students.
The project is expected to go out for tender by the end of June, and construction could begin before the end of summer.
