The BC government is spending 26.7 million dollars to build two schools in Vancouver.
The seismically unsound General Gordon Elementary on the west side will be replaced at a cost of 14.7 million dollars.
In addition, 12 million is going toward a new school in Vancouver’s International Village.
V-S-B chair Patti Baccus says a school for that growing neighborhood is long overdue.
Both schools will open in the fall of 2015.
