EDMONTON –  Alberta Education Minister Dave Eggen says some of the latest schools to be built in the province came in under budget.

And he adds that bids for the next round of construction are coming in lower than what the province expected.

Eggen says that means more new schools could be added to the list.

He says bids are coming in 10 to 20 per cent lower.

Eggen says 32 new schools have opened provincewide in the last nine weeks and another dozen are due in January.
