A further one day delay has been announced regarding the start to the academic year at St.Francis School. This follows the damage caused by a water main break last week.
In a media release issued by Prince Albert Catholic Schools this evening, Director of Education Lorel Trumier said the first day of school will now be on Thursday. The school division had initially anticipated a start for tomorrow.
“Despite all efforts, the first day of school for St. Francis students will be delayed until Thursday, September 5, 2019, “the statement read. “Crews ranging from electrical, reclamation, and plumbing, have worked feverishly to remedy the issues and water damaged areas following the water main break discovered August 26, 2019.”
The statement added the entire mechanical room and gym were significantly impacted by the water main break and repairs had been delayed due to the late arrival of some key electrical components. Trumier said efforts were being made to contact families directly regarding the additional delay.
