Ontario education plan to form county boards
Premier John Robarts announced a new education plan on a county basis that Durham County District High School Board has accepted in principle. The consolidation will dissolve about 1,000 boards by end of 1968, with transition to be smooth and nondisruptive for students. The new board will be elected from all county municipalities, though size may be limited. The plan includes local tax collection and a unified K through 13 system, affecting roughly 7,500 public and 3,000 secondary students in Durham.
