Intermediate school proposals
Sir, — A meeting of parents of Westburn School children showed strong opposition to the Education Board plan for their Form I and 2 children to go to a distant intermediate school (“The Press,” April 9). The tenor of the meeting and general disapproval of the plan were foreshadowed at a similar meeting held at Avonhead School on March 28. It should be abundantly clear to the Education Board that parents in the Avonhead district do not want their children to go to intermediate schools under the conditions they are being offered. The holding of a postal vote on the matter would be a waste of time and taxpayers’ money. Any resolution the board might have passed to hold such a vote can easily be rescinded. Why does not the board admit that the matter is a dead issue and give in gracefully? — Yours, etc., COLIN BURROWS. April 9, 1979.
