Seaforth prepares
to battle AMDSB
Members of the Seaforth com
munity are informing the Avon
Maitland District School Board that
they are prepared to fight the possi
ble closure of their schools.
After the announcement came
last week that both Seaforth's ele
mentary and secondary schools
were on the list to be studied, (Wal
ton is also included) Charlie Smith
of Seaforth said $14,000 had
already been set aside for legal fees
for the battle.
The money was raised through a
letter-writing campaign to Seaforth
alumni after the high school was’
first studied two years ago. About
50 alumni donated to the Save the
School Fund.
Smith’s company. Boilersmith
Ltd., has contributed an additional
$5,000 to the fund and hopes it will
inspire others in the community to
optimism and to donate.
With the threat on again, SDHS
council chair Maureen Agar says
the fundraising may have to start
again.
Though the fund has not yet been
registered as a charity. Smith
believes the school closure issue is
far too important to worry about a
tax receipt.
Smith has suggested he may soon
seek advice from a lawyer regard
ing a suit against the school board
with an argument based on com
mon law. “The bottom line in the
legal system is based on fairness
and what the board is proposing is
fundamentally unfair. We believe
that on that basis, we have the pos
sibility of a favourable outcome.”
Smith also questions the board’s
legal right to sell the building built
by the former Seaforth and District
School Board and given to the cen
tralized boards in trust.
Anyone interested in contributing
to Save the Schools Fund can con
tact the CIBC or TD in Seaforth.
Also, there will be a meeting, Dec.
I at 7:30 p.m. at the community
centre for concerned individuals.
