Extra, U.S.A: LUCKNOW,, ONTA;RI:O` WEDNESDAY, MARCH. 24th, 1965• Single, • Copy 10c. 16 .Pages Meet: Holyrood Monday now uiscuss There..,,arealot f hurdles a- head ofeach board, but seems a very strong; ,possibility: that . Luc - know' Public School Board and Kinloss Township School Area Board might soon be united un- der one. school' board that ' would govern: the public school matters' for both municipalities. The two boards ' met . with ' Pub- lic School. Inspectors Keith Wal die ' of ' Bruce and J. H. Kincaid . of Huron . in the Kinloss • Central School' on. Monday of this week. Monday's ' meeting was merely to explore • and • discuss future school planning as ' it pertains to. the two, boards under, the ' new Ontario. Department of.Education plan. • Under this plan, it, is . the aim of the department to co-ordinate smaller school sections under. lar ger governing` boards and.;in : lar- ger ger schools with . added ;facilities . which are not •'available. 'or work- able in smaller schools. • EXPLAINS HURON:` PLANS: J. H. Kincaid, .who was invited to the meeting to explain .plans 'for :'Huron, County, .advised the. boards that the Townships of Ashfield a n d West Wawanosh were . presently dtteussing an ar- ea that : would embrace the . two townships •and .'should', t h e two boards come to an agreement, a new ,school to handle the two townships would' " seem a very strong possibility. • Location for this school " would. likely be on the Lucknow-Dungan- non. ucknow Dungan -non. road in the vicinity of the' 9th concession," although this is a matter that would' have to be more ` fully discussed by . the two boards. , • WHAT ABOUT NORTHERN • PUPILS? One of" the main reasons for inviting Mr. Kincaid to the meet- ing in Bruce was toseek his advice on the possibility, • : if Luc - know and . Kinloss formed an ar- ea, of retaining some of the pu- pils -in--Northern Ashfield : a .n d West Wawanosh Townships pre- sently attending Lucknow Public School. The board was . interested ' to learn if these pupils would be part, of the. new Ashfield -West Waw- anosh ,Area, should itbe form- ed. Mr. , Kincaid said • that mat- ters of this r type wouldbe de- cided by . a referee and in view, of Lucknow sitting . on the bord- er line of these two townships, he would advise discussing it, with the• Huron boards concerned. He said there is nothing to pre- vent counties overlapping in, the formation of areas, but if any part of any other township should be regarded as more . suited ' for the Lucknow-Kinloss area, they would no :.longer . "buy" their • ed- ucation from . this board, as be- fore, but would : be incorporated as part •of that area.
