The Regina Public School Board announced that a boundary change will see approximately 200 students moved from Harbour Landing School to Ethel Milliken School.
The announcement comes as the joint-use facility’s enrollment has neared legal capacity limits.
“The boundary change really is because we’re at a point [where] we have to make a decision. There's no more waiting,” Adam Hicks, a trustee on the Regina Public School Board told CTV News.
“We're hitting close to those legal limits of how many people we can actually have in the building. So, the boundary changes really are about easing the pressure off of this building behind me and moving some students soon to some other buildings that have a little bit of room in them.”
According to a letter from the Regina Public School Division, around 200 students from the southern portion of Harbour Landing will be moved to Ethel Milliken School for the upcoming 2023/2024 school year until the new Harbour Landing West School opens in 2026.
“Ethel Milliken is one of the last resorts we have,” Hicks explained.
“We've asked for two portables from the province, we received funding for one additional one but they are bursting at the seams. There's no more music room, there's no art room, there's absolutely nothing but classrooms.”
