70 WITHOUT TEACHERS
Parents Reject Board Plan (N.Z. Press Association) TE KUITI, Feb. 19. Seventy children at Benneydale District High School are teacherless. A public meeting at Benneydale has unanimously rejected South Auckland Education Board proposals either to use correspondence courses or to take the children by bus to two distant high schools until three teachers can be found for the secondary department. Parents want the board to honour its obligation by staffing the £68,000 school built four years ago. One parent, amid cheers, commented: “The board built the school —let them staff it.” The school committee chairman, Mr J. C. Murcott, explained the board had done its best to supply teachers and the primary department was fully staffed. But there were no academic teachers for the secondary department.
Until the meeting receives a reply, correspondence courses will be used at the school.
