Emergency work is to be done on the Sand Creek Secondary School in Region Nine after a visit by Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock found the structure in a deplorable state

The school houses some 298 students from the community and within the South Rupununi.

A release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) yesterday said that during the Minister’s weekend visit to the Region Nine community, residents raised concerns that the approximately five-year-old structure, is unsafe and unhygienic for students.
