Despite a call from Espanola’s building inspector to complete a number of in-depth reports into the condition of AB Ellis school, the Huron Superior English Catholic School Board will renew its lease for another year.
Board Education Director, Rose Burton Spohn, told The Moose they will be renewing their lease for students of Sacred Heart to continue being housed in the building.
The town wants several studies done including complete structural, mechanical, engineering and architectural reports following an anonymous complaint to the town.
Burton Spohn says they have talked to the inspector and submitted various reports on air quality, electrical repairs and the like, as well as agreed to do some remedial work the town has asked for.
She adds they hope to meet with him again in the short term to discuss what further actions he will require and if they must go ahead with the studies.
School is officially out next Friday.
