New KPS building could open in the fall

The Upper Canada District School Board says the new Kemptville Public School may be opening sooner than expected.

Construction on the school began in 2016 using a $13.3 million dollar budget that came from the Ontario Ministry of Education. Originally the school was going to open on January 8th of 2018 but faster than anticipated construction means doors may open at the beginning of the school year in September. This timeline is dependent on sanitary services for the school being completed and meeting all the criteria required to obtain an occupancy permit.

Jeremy Hobbs, the Superintendent of Human Resources, Information Technology and Facilities, noted that while the sanitary services were originally scheduled for completion by September recently surfacing issues mean this may not be possible. The project is also currently costing less than anticipated and school board officials believe the finished school may come in under budget.
