Scholarship fairness sparks Acton High debate
Our Readers Write laments a controversy over the Canadian Legion Branch 1979 Scholarship at Acton High School. The letter criticizes awarding a grade 12 student with a second attempt while top grade 13 students or in-town peers missed recognition. It cites teaching instability and conflicting criteria as the root causes, urging merit based on single-year performance and direct achievements.
