Rossburn considers larger secondary school area plan
A Rossburn district meeting on September 23, 1954 discussed improving secondary school facilities. Key points noted nonresident students cannot all be accommodated this term and 35 of 65 students are nonresident. The Rural Municipality levy of 2.2 mills funds nonresident fees but no guaranteed space exists. A province wide plan to form secondary school areas was welcomed and future meetings planned at several schools to promote discussion.
