Prince George, B.C.- It looks as though there will be a portable on site for the Giscome Elementary  School this fall.

The existing facility has been deemed unsafe and School District 57 has decided it will not allow classes to be held in that facility  after the end of the current school year.

 At the Regional District  of Fraser Fort George meeting, Director Kevin Dunphy   reported  he community is raising dollars to fund the establishment of a portable on site. This would avoid the unnecessary and lengthy bus rides for young students to schools within Prince George.  

“We met with Trustees of School District 57 and it looks as though a portable will be on site this fall, and we all walked away from that meeting felling pretty good about it” says Director Dunphy. He says a longer term solution has yet to be found, however, he says the community is working with School District 57 on developing a community learning centre This would see the development of a multi purpose facility that is capable of meeting a variety of community needs.
