New Construction
Over the last few years, the Greater Essex County District School Board has received a number of grants from the Ministry of Education to replace older schools with new modern buildings.
James L. Dunn Public School
In November 2015 the Greater Essex County District School Board received a grant from the Ministry of Education of $15.23 million to build a permanent home for the Giles Campus French Immersion Public School. Giles Campus French Immersion Public School was created in 2011 at the former W. D. Lowe High School building to accommodate French Immersion students in the Northwest area of Windsor. This was a temporary solution due to demand for French Immersion programming in the city until a business case was approved to build a new school within the area. In January 2017 the GECDSB purchased a piece of property at 1123 Mercer Street. The former International Playing Card factory, a designated heritage building, will be preserved and included in the overall design of the new school. The new school construction began in July 2020 and opened in September 2022.
North Shore
In November 2015 the Greater Essex County District School Board was awarded a grant of $15.3 million for the construction of a new dual-track French Immersion / English school in the North Shore area. This will replace the current D.M. Eagle Public School and serve an area in Tecumseh and Lakeshore.
