THE LAMBTON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTICE TO ALL SECONDARY ' SCHOOL STUDENTS AND PARENTS The Lambton County Board of Education wishes to assure the students and parents that every effort will be made to resolve the present negotiating dispute between the Board and the High School teaching staff prior to the opening of school in January 1973. It remains the intention of the Board that the secondary schools will continue to operate with limited programs. The elementary schools are not involved in the dispute and will continue to operate in their normal manner. The Lambton County Board of Education regrets that it has to make this an- nouncement as a result of the resignation of many of the secondary school teachers. The Board plans to open all secondary schools on Thursday, January 4, 1973, at the regular time so that those students who wish to carry on with their education on an in- dividual basis with limited assistance, may do so. Students may attend in accordance with their interests and desires on a voluntary basis commencing on January 4, 1973. Acting principals and some staff members will be on hand to provide assistance. Libraries and classrooms within each school will be open to students with limited assistance available for tutorial groups, seminar work, individual or group research and independent study. Some school athletic activities will also be carried on. Educational films and television programs will be scheduled for viewing. The Board wishes to repeat and emphasize that NO STUDENTS WILL LOSE A CREDIT OR GRADUATION STANDING SOLELY AS A RESULT OF THE SUSPEN- SION OF REGULAR CLASSES. Further information regarding the operation of the schools as it affects students and parents will be presented in similar advertisements in your local newspapers and radio. C. WILKINSON, CHAIRMAN.
