The portable problem at Surrey's schools is set to shrink a little with Thursday's announcement that the Sunnyside Heights neighbourhood will be getting a new 655-seat elementary school. The $57-million investment will also fund additions to Morgan and White Rock elementary schools. Education Minister Rob Fleming says the new school and expansions will eliminate 36 portables that are currently in use. The new Sunnyside Heights school will be located at 20th Avenue and 165A Street in South Surrey. Fleming says investments in the Surrey School District will eliminate 350 portables by 2023.
