It's not quite the christmas gift staff at the Foothills School Division head office were hoping for.

Assistant Superintendent Drew Chipman says they'll be moving into their new building in High River a little later that they'd hoped.

"When we first started the project December was the goal, but we didn't get started as quickly as we anticipated, just going through the protocols with the Town making sure the development permit met all the requirements," he says.

Chipman says it'll be great when they get into the building.

"There's going to be a number of provincial agencies, Foothills School Division is going to have our offices on the third floor, the board room which we shared with the provincial government, that'll be on the second floor and we'll also have our IMC, which is where we have all of our materials, that's going to be on the first floor," Chipman says. "A great partnership with the Province of Alberta and we're really looking forward to getting in there."

He says they new move-in is expected to happen in March.
