The time factor in building new schools varies from case to case. Much depends on the location and size of the school, the nature of the site and the formalities to be attended to in regard to the transfer of the site to trustees.
Provided that a suitable site has been acquired and that no complications arise in regard to its transfer to school trustees the time-lapse to which the Deputy refers is about 2½ years.
