The West Lethbridge School Capacity Requirements Study has now been completed.
The study explores solutions to continued capacity concerns arising from current and anticipated population growth, particularly in west Lethbridge.
In early 2024, the Division received funding for the study, which outlines a series of recommendations, based on careful review and analysis of the current and maximum capacity of west Lethbridge schools in relation to forecasted enrolment growth, municipal data, proposed development timelines and municipal/school reserve land requirements.
The study recommends a new elementary school and new high school be built in west Lethbridge to address future growth.
According to Christine Lee, the Division's Associate Superintendent of Business and Operations, the Division has begun discussions with administration from The City of Lethbridge related to finding suitable school sites for future development in west Lethbridge.
The study, funded by Alberta Education and developed by Michael Kelly of MSK Developments, was submitted to Alberta Education, as the study supports the need for additional classrooms spaces in west Lethbridge.
