The Members of the Durham County District Righ School Board, who voted for the central site fer the new high school to be erected at this time for the 'purpose of relieving over-crowding at our Bowmanville and Orono Schools, fully appreciate your interest in this matter and wish to set forth the following in the hope that the questions raised in your Open Letter may be satisfactorily answered., Our Board and a Special Committee of fine members have, continuously since Oct. l6th., studied and considered what would be the best location fçQr a new school to meet the needs of our District at the present tim e and as part of a long range plan. There has been nothing haphazard about the investi- gation and, finally, after many meetings over several months and in spite of a democratic difference of opinion, a majority of the Board voted for the Orono location. The school sections to be served will be those which can be economically transported from the Newcastle, Clarke and parts of Darlington which might be required to relieve the pressure on Bow- manville. 1h is net the intention of the Board to transport pupils from the Milibrook area to the new sehool and it is specifically flot the intention of the ~eard to close any of ihe existing schools. We think that the central location selected by our Board on Feb. 26th, 1958, will result in a mpinimum cost of transportation and will serve these areas adequately. With the anticipated growth in South-West Darlington, we realize that before very long our District will very iikely have a considerabie high school population there. And the pressure on Bow- manville will in ail iikeiihood have ho be further relieved by anothýV school in the Dariington area ini the not too dis fànt future. Ail the things mentioned in the Letter on ,NwcastIes behaîf were given careful consideration and those who voted for Orono did so in f ull knowledge of the facts at hand. Publie and High School present and future enrolments were studied in detail. Urban and suburban growth potential was cornpared. Fi'e protection and sites were con- sidered. And maps pinpointed with pupil locations, ,aisportation routes, etc., examined. Each mnernber of the Board had access to ail the (acts and voted accordin g to his assessment of the problem. The fart that the majority voting in i favour of Orono was small has no effect on the resuit in a ý 1«amtarv votîng procedu ce. d¶r Inserted by Durham, CoÙnty District High School Board Orangeman 7rd Hon ored Wembership Bernard ilin practically ail offices in the Primna7- and District Ledges adws for three years Grandi Marschallo! the Grand Lodge i o!
