Manitoba Association of School Trustees welcomes looser vote rules for unitary school divisions announced by Dr. Johnson after talks with MAS and MTS on October 6.

The plan allows referendums by mid December and higher grants from January 1, 1968, with leniency possible if 35 percent elector support and substantial board approval.
