The construction of the new St Ninian's Lower School at Bemahague in Onchan has moved a step closer, after Tynwald approved expenditure of up to £433,000 on the first stage of the project.
The new school would cost in the region of £33 million and would have room for 800 pupils.
Education Minister Anne Craine (pictured) hopes to bring the main scheme to Tynwald before the 2009 summer recess.
She says the current phase involves enabling works:
TT organisers announce revised Saturday race schedule
Senior race to be restarted over four-lap distance tomorrow (6 June)
TT campers in 'high spirits' despite rain affecting race week
'Costa del Ballaugh' one week, mud the next
Rider taken to Noble's Hospital after Senior TT red flag
Competitor 'conscious and talking' after incident at 11th Milestone
Red flag stops Senior TT race
Race halted during second lap
Further delay to TT schedule due to 'non-racing operational matter'
