township school immediately expressed
their disappointment towards the Bruce
Board of Education for studying the ef-
fects of dosing the 20-year-o1d school.
"You're losing a part of the community
when you lose a school," said Kinloss
• Township Reeve Barry Jehnston in a
January meeting over the proposed school
closing. He saki he was disappointed that
the study had been conducted...
..."Somebody built a schobl 20 years ago
and now we don't need it. I'd like to see a
long-term plan to the end of the century,"
he said.
"once you've lost a school you never get
it back, added the reeve who has two
children attending the Kinloss school.
"I certainly don't want to see the school
close," said Donna Moffat, a parent who
has two children at the school and a third
in Kindergarten at Lucknow Central
Public School,
"I feel they're getting the best education
they can where they are. You can't get rid
of the best."
Concerned Kinloss township residents
and Bruce County Board of Education
representatives filled Holyrood hall on
February 6 to discuss the board's study in-
vestigating possible financial and educa-
tional benefits of closing the Kinloss
school.
Residents asked questions of the board
of education chairman Mike Snobelen,
board members Alma Conn -Armstrong
and Frank Eagleson, and superintendent
of the education Won Carroll. Also in atten-
dance were board member Eloite
Calhoun, and Alvin Thompson, a member
a the committee considaing the possible
closure.
Carroll said there are a variety of
criteria to beused before the final decision
is made, including the impact of activities
Q f a cultural or recreational nature taking
place in the school on top of financial and
educational concerns.
In another public meeting at the Kinloss
Central Public School on February 27 to
discuss the closure - only a dozen people
showed up.
Donna Moffat asked how much money .
would be saved by closing the school,
Snobelen refilled that an estimate of
$40,000 a year has been assembled.. That.
doesn't inc&lude an estimate of $3,06Da year
to maintain the building until it is sold.
The sale of the building was questioned
was by those assMembled there.
"It will be sold," said Snobelen.
Eagleson said there is an average tur-
nover of six months when the board
decides to sell an unheeded school. '
At both meetings,- Carroll gave the pro-
jected enrollment for the next five years.
According to the census, Kinloss school
would lose seven students between the
years of 1986-87 and 1990-91. The combined
enrollmtnt in 1990-91 has been projected at
242 down from 266 in 1985-86. The combitied
capability of the two schools is 325, accor-
ding to the Bruce Board.
The official notice for the closing of the
Kinloss Central Public School came in
March. the committee studying the closing
of the school presented a motion to close
the school at the Bruce County Board of
Education meeting on March 4. The 17
members of the board voted unanimously
to close the school, said Alma Conn-
Armstong, the school trustee for Lucknow,
Teeswater and the Townships of Kinloss
and Culross.
In the September meeting of Kinloss
Township council, a bylaw authorized the
purchase of the Kinloss school from the
Bruce County board of Education'.
In December of this year, members of
the Wingham District Intercienornina-•
tional Christian High School endorsed a
proposal fro their board of 'rectors to of-
fer a Christian high school program next
year. The society expects to lease Kinloss
Central School from the towns 'p to be us-
ed as an interim high school as future
plans call for a Christian High'School to be
built west of Wingham.
