Kungsbergsskolan will be rebuilt and the new school with room for approximately 900 students to be built at Drottningtorget is planned to open in the autumn of 2026.
But the number of students is already large, Linköping municipality writes in a press release.
Therefore, the Children and Youth Committee has decided to from the autumn term 2022 house the new school organization at Anders Ljungstedts gymnasium, which had a reduced number of students.
In each class, a maximum of 30 students must receive their education.
- Through this proposal, we solve the urgent need for high school places in the near future. We do it in premises that the municipality already owns, which makes it an economically advantageous solution for Linköping's taxpayers. In addition, we start up the organization for the New Kungsberg School in this way, which means that once the new school is built, we can move in a finished organization right from the start, says Erik Östman (M), chairman of the children and youth committee.
