Cracks discovered at a Quebec City elementary school have forced more than 300 students and their teachers to move to another school shortly before the start of the academic year.<\/p>\n

Inspections carried out on Saint-Fid\u00e8le elementary school revealed cracks in the building’s beams and pillars, according to an emailed statement sent to parents Monday by\u00a0the Quebec City school service centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough expert evaluations confirm no immediate safety risk to occupants, the extent of the repairs requires a major construction project,\u201d read the statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In total, 345 students and staff will be relocated.<\/p>\n

Catherine Lefran\u00e7ois, whose daughter is enrolled at the school, says there hasn’t been a lot of information. As a parent, she still has many questions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have the answers,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNow they\u2019re going to go into a building that\u2019s not built to be a primary school. What will that entail?\u201d<\/p>\n

An online meeting for parents will be held Aug. 20.<\/p>\n

The school service centre said the students alongside employees will be set up at another building, also owned by the service, located 250 metres away.<\/p>\n

The building was originally supposed to accommodate students from \u00a0Jean-de-Br\u00e9beuf secondary school.<\/p>\n

Now, these groups will be relocated to the Centre de formation professionnelle de Limoilou, according to the school service centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":862125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[49,48,295,66],"class_list":["post-862124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-environment","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/862125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
