School supplies and new clothes are essential when heading back to school but their classrooms have to be ready for them.
District 8 Superintendent Susan Tipper tells CHSJ News has some of the oldest infrastructure in the Province so the work is costly and time consuming.
Tipper says one of the biggest challenges for the district was when a transformer blew at Forest Hills school leaving it without power for a while but, it has since been fixed and the school will be ready when classes start next week.
Tipper adds they are also working to make every school in the district wheelchair accessible.
