he said. "Let them have the blood
.on their hands."
Trustee Wendy Anderson was
offended by the short deadline the
board faces on this issue. The
province requires boards to submit
a list of schools slated for closure
by Dec. 30, 1998.
"Historically, the good trustees
of the former Huron and Perth
boards met every deadline imposed
and now we have no room to move.
The ministry has not yet met one
deadline to us. .1 think. it's time for
the people of Huron and Perth to let
Toronto know that this Is not an
acceptable situation; she said.
The plan to close schools is
short-sighted and will "decimate
our system," .said Trustee
