concerns over the closing, ;of the school;.
especially with ' respect to class sizes and
structure. Parents at the 'meetings) were,

of classrooms" .at the Lucknow public
school. Board members made assurances
that 'partitions could be installed to make
individual rooms out of of a large: room at
the school.
In addition, parents 'commented .on 'the
act the closure concerning the, uproot«
ing of students Who would haveto become

• Kinloss students, who might have toxspend,
a lengthy, time on tire bus, was also a: major.
