Trustees Discuss Boundaries Report in Manitoba Education Meeting
About 70 to 80 trustees from 15 western Manitoba divisions met at Neelin High School in Brandon on November 9 to review the Local Government Boundaries Commission report on the educational structure. They questioned regional boards’ cost, staff needs, and potential loss of local authority, urging priority for the final report and liaising within current division structures. Resolutions from Portage la Prairie No. 241 and Pine Creek No. 30 were approved for the 1970 Manitoba Association of School Trustees convention.
