SCHOOL BOARD

[Welland Telegraph, 12 December 1911]

A special meeting of the school Board was held on Thursday night to discuss reducing the number of its members from eight to six, made necessary by the change in the number of wards.

It was resolved that instead of two representatives from each ward, as formerly, one would be sufficient, making a Board of six. Three members would be elected each year by the town to serve for a period of two years.

An increase in the teacher’s salary was brought up and a committee appointed to meet and act before the next meeting.

It is expected that work will be discontinued on the Cordage school until the first of the year, but will be ready for occupancy in the spring.-First Street School.

Mr. Flower suggested that a couch be purchased to be kept in a small unused room for cases of emergency. When pupils were sick or injured, he said, they had no place to lie down.
