Connaught school will be replaced, Regina board of education says. (CBC)

Public school board trustees in Regina have decided to replace Connaught School, built in 1912, rather than repair it.

The trustees were acting on a study that concluded upgrades to Connaught would cost more than constructing a new school.

They hoped to persuade the board to delay a decision on Connaught, to provide more time to explore other options.
