A representative for the Central East North Huron Accommodation Review Committee doesn't accept school board staff position that provincial funding will depend on filling capacity at F-E Madill Secondary School in Wingham.Parents from five elementary schools involved in the accommodation review have said from the beginning that they were opposed to sending their children in grades 7 and 8 to a high school.At last night's board meeting in Wingham, Mark Beavan of East Wawanosh says it changes the terms of reference in the process.(Click on arrow to listen to audio)Beavan says the accommodation review process only involved the elementary schools and F-E Madill in Wingham was never part of the process, so the introduction of Madill now could be grounds for a legal challenge.
