The aging infrastructure of Rutland Middle School has long been the subject of Kelowna parents香蕉视频直播� concern.

While the school was slotted for an expansion in the School District 23 2020/2021 capital plan, officials seem to have had a change of heart, instead proposing the school be entirely rebuilt.

According to the district香蕉视频直播檚 first draft of the 2021/2022 capital plan, cost projections to renovate and expand the 71-year-old school came in higher than expected and district staff are now recommending the school board move RMS to the School Replacement Program due to the age of the school and maintenance costs.

School officials also mentioned increasing the size of the school would limit any future growth potential.

The proposed rebuild will cost the district nearly $45 million.

And, that香蕉视频直播檚 not the only substantial price tag shown in the draft capital plan.

A new high school in West Kelowna remains the district香蕉视频直播檚 top priority. That facility, dubbed Westside Secondary School, will cost an estimated $120 million.

A new elementary in the Wilden area and a replacement of Glenmore Elementary are also proposed, each coming with $40 million cost.

The finalized capital plan must be submitted to the provincial government by the end of June. Actual funding is ultimately decided by the Ministry of Education.

Trustees will hear more on the draft capital plan when it香蕉视频直播檚 presented on May 6.
