Single Board Vote Set for March 10 Across Manitoba Divisions
Manitoba trustees heard Minister of Education Dr George Johnson announce a March 10 1967 referendum on single board administration for 33 divisions. He stressed government backing and the need for local structural changes to align curricula and administration, with an information campaign planned via newspapers radio TV and public meetings. The Brandon District sought censure of the MAST executive for promoting the referendum without member consultation, but the convention largely supported the minister's stance. Attendance totaled 465 trustees from across the province.
