London School Board debates Education Act grants impact
The London School Board meeting under Sir Charles Reed discussed Mr Peek’s memorial urging higher Imperial grants to public elementary schools. Provisions aimed to boost funding faced opposition from several board members who argued local taxation and efficiency should drive grants, with protests signed by leading members. Debates also covered church and voluntary schools, attendance enforcement, and potential relief from rates, while Duke of Richmond and Lord Howard of Glossop led deputations on denominational fears and governance.
