CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — The Public Schools Branch has launched a review of population growth as schools are nearing their full capacity.During the meeting, Dale Sabean, a member of the branch's board of directors, presented his review on capacity/infrastructure due to population growth and housing.
“There was a child in every space in that building, and they had to schedule the youngsters with their adults because they were using the space over and over and over. So, it's not that there's an empty class; every classroom is full with a class,” he said. It’s a similar situation for Prince Street Elementary School. He said the school's principal has told him every classroom is being used and they are still pressed for space, even after creating some spaces within some classrooms by using dividers.
