Six members, of the Luck•now
District Board attended Friday
night's ; meeting with the 'most. ,
concrete development being that.
each Board; meet in the near fu-
ture to thoroughly discuss the
pros and cons. ;
The Port Elgin `Board, we un-
derstand ,favors Owen. Sound, to
Kincardine, if they, can't have
their own School.. Both Kincar-.
'dine and Port Elgin 'however,
have the lakeside disadvantage
of, not • being centrally situated.
for, a school' location.
• Students attending a"vocational
school : would, it seems, have to
be transported to their district
school and there• board a bus for
the ' vocational school. This, dis-
tances involved, the sharing .of
'costs, the uncertainty of the suc-
cess or future • of such • schools,
provides a real problem for school '
boards. It is something that can't.
be plunged into he dlong, neither
will any boar d wiSh to miss the
advantages ,which might be de-
rived. .
