The Board reviewed a joint letter from Education Minister Adriana LaGrange and Prasad Panda, Minister of Infrastructure, advising that the replacement Harry Balfour School project has been approved for construction funding. No dollar amount was specified in the letter.

The letter went on to say that the project is conditional on PWPSD transferring the current Harry Balfour School and site to Grande Prairie Public School Division, upon completion of the replacement school. It also noted that Infrastructure and Education staff will be in contact with PWPSD in the coming weeks to start the collaborative development of the Harry Balfour School replacement project.

During a visit to PWPSD Central Office on March 9, 2020, Minister LaGrange confirmed funding for the replacement school. Design funding was included in the Government's announcement of 25 new school projects on November 1, 2019.
