EDUCATION AREAS
Extra District
Opposed
South Canterbury did. not want to secede from the Canterbury Education Board’s district, as recommended in the report of the Commission on Education Board Boundaries, said Mr L. Brown (Waimate) at a meeting of the board yesterday. The board decided to ask the Minister of Education (Mr Kinsella) to give boards the right to discuss the proposed changes before any of them were implemented. .The chairman (Mr A. S. Murray) said that all members must have been very surprised to learn of the main recommendations as they affected the Canterbury Education Board’s district He 'said this was particularly true in viqw of the fact that the board felt that in the main there was no great demand for a separate board for the area south of the Rakaia river, down to Moeraki, with headquarters probably in Timaru.
“As said before, this board would not oppose any scheme which would give benefit to our children, but there must be many doubts about any advantages to be gained by the suggested division of this territory. “I would hope that before the Minister makes any decision to implement the recommendations of the report he would have the closest consultation with the boards and other organisations vitally concerned in such an important issue.”
