"Then they cold be opened„ again when this great enrohnerit 'from WPS. and .SPS gei to high school age." Quality •edlication Several parents' suggested that .the quality :of education that grades K through 3 receive at WPS more than make up for the lack of a library; gym and other. facilitieS that are available in Seaforth • Other parents asked the trustees for the economic information that Mr. Henderson 'said justified the closing.."We're ratepayers and have a right to know the costs," said Laverne Godkin of McKillop. Since there are no empty ;Classrooms at either WPS or SPS, Larry. Wheatley of McKill'op said "You'll have a haid time selling me on the economics of. •this Another parent, Don Pletch . of Seaforth confirmed with board, members that SPS would have 54 'kindergarten students next year if 'WPS was bused to the town school. That's two kindergarten classes and would mean a third' if just one more student moved to the area since 27 is the. largest number allowed in one K class, Mr. Pletch said. . "There's a chance students might move out too," Mr. Henderson said. "I think you're taking a big chance closing a school," replied Mr. Pletch.

Have a say Do parents have a say in this decision, Mrs. Beuttenmiller asked and was told' byMr. McDonald, "we get a pretty good_ idea what your thinking is by coming here tonight." 'In answer to questions from ratepayers Tom Stevenson of Grey and Joan BeuermanItrustees). said the WPS building would be offered to othek boards and local governments before it was sold and that WPS teachers would not lose their jobs: "They'd go to Seaforthi if WPS was closed," trustee McDonald said but he added "we'd be remiss if we went against Walton School. Seaforth D'FIS isn't down that badly." "Seven years ago when the schools closed it was going to be cheaper, 'we all know how it went" 'said McKillop councillor Ralph McNichol,, who also acknowledged, that the board members are under great pressure to make cuts. "I hope they can get enough -pressure (locally) to hold th ings as they ate." Former trustee and boar d chairman Wilfred Shortreed, who Chaired the Meeting suggested the board might have to revamp all its boundaries, perhaps drawing a circle around each school and letting students attend • where they are closest.
