The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board should know by next month whether it will be able to proceed with a new elementary school in Dryden.
Superintendant of Business Dean Carrie says they have been meeting with the contractor who submitted the orginal tender to build the school to find areaswhere they can reduce costs.
He says if Ministry of Education approves the new costs for construction,then they will bring the
tender to trustees for approval at their December meeting.
The project would start in the spring at the earliest.
The board rejected the initially tender back in June because it came in well above the funding they had available for the project.
