WINDSOR, ONT. The Greater Essex County District School Board announced Monday a site has been acquired to build a new school in Tecumseh. The 5.79-acre site will house a new dual track (English / French Immersion) school for students in the Tecumseh and Lakeshore areas. The Ministry of Education recently approved $3.7 million in funding to support this acquisition for the new school. The property is located north of Tecumseh Road in Tecumseh, and just west of Arlington Blvd., near the current site of D.M. Eagle Public School, which will be replaced by the new building. Funding of $15.5 million for the school was announced by the Ministry of Education through the Capital Priorities Program in November, 2015.
