Stewart E. McLean noted strong turnout and thoughtful questions, with both large schedule meetings and smaller local gatherings drawing several hundred attendees. Questions focused on high school size and transportation, with officials stating divisions may run multiple high schools and must provide transportation or compensation for students over a mile from a secondary school.
