Board members wished to make it known that. they have appreciated the co-operation,•shown by the elementary school boards and the municipal councils involved in the decision.. 'One school board ntem- bet summed it up. "It .was the toughest decision that I ever had to make". The Wingham District High School Board had previously voted to accept Lucknow into an amal- gamation plan when Lucknow app- roached them several weeks ago. It ciould therefore. be the under- standing that this amalgamation - would proceed with no problems. Representatives from the Luck - now and Wingham boards will havi to approach both ,Bruce and Huron county, councils at their lune sess- ion when the consultative comm- ittee will make a recommenda- tion to the county council on the matter. , • If it is approved, the present WinghamDistrict•High School area would be dissolved and a new ,.area formed which would ,ern:- • brate those municipalities now in the Lucknow District High School Area; .as welt as those in. the present Wifigharri Area.
