Archie Badham, spokesman for the Fitzroy Harbour group, told the board he heard Grade 7 and Grade 8 pupils at Fitzroy Harbour would be forced to go to the Kinburn school in September. The Fitzroy Harbour school has three classrooms, eight grades and three teachers. Mr.

Badham called for an additional room. Mr. Arthur said the board ignate Blackburn as a kindergarten to Grade 4 school and Glen Ogilvie as a school for kindergarten and Grades 4 to 8. Trustee Louise Mcintosh said the reason for the division was that children in the higher grades would need the better library and gymnasium facilities at Glen Ogilvie.

The board, led by chairman Douglas Arthur, fended off the attacks and made a decision against the wishes of one group the Blackburn Hamlet Home and School Association. Both the Blackburn Hamlet group and parents from Fitzroy Harbour were arguing against sending children to schools outside their neighborhoods. But the board decided that for several reasons it would be wise to send Blackburn Hamlet children in Grades 1 to 4 to Blackburn school. The parents wanted them sent to Glen Ogilvie school which, they said, was closer than Blackburn.

Explaining their grievance later, Stan Hill, a member of the home and school association, said parents object to sending children in Grades 1 to 4 to Blackburn school which is more distant than Glen Ogilvie.

Mr. Hill claimed Glen Ogilvie, not yet completed, could accommodate all grades. Glen Ogilvie is within walking distance of most Blackburn Hamlet residents. Pupils are now transported to Blackburn school but must leave at 8 a.m. and do not return until 4 p.m., he said.
