Unfortunately the board is recommending sending our beloved 7/8's to the highschool setting because Madill needs our numbers:
North Huron Centre of Excellence Rejected By Board Staff
Wednesday, April 15, 2009 5:50 am
The Avon Maitland School Board's staff is rejecting the Central, East, North Huron Accommodation Review Committee's recomendations for a new school.The recommendation from the committee was to build a "super" elementary school for students who currently attend Wingham, Turnberry, Blyth and East Wawanosh.The board's staff recomments the closure of Turnberry and Blyth and sending the Grade 7 and 8 students from those schools to F.E. Madill in Wingham.K to 6 students from Turnberry will go to Wingham Public and K to 6 students from Blyth will be split between East Wawanosh and Hullett.Avon Maitland Board staff argue funding is not available for a new school from any of the various sources including the province and federal governments.Superindent Mike Ash says there's another reason to shuffle elementary students in the North Huron family to exisiting schools.
