RKevisiorn decision, closmingCastieton The Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Educa- tion last week reversed a deci- sion whi ch had been previously made to close the Castleton Public School at the end of the 1983-84 school year. The decision made last faîl was not unlike the deci- sion to close the Kendal Public Sehool. Board members voted l0Oto 5 to reconsider the closing of the school and after debate the closing was reversed by the samie vote. Trustees Wm. Carmani and Bob Wilshire fromn Ward Three Newcastle opposed the move to reverse the decision as did Hal McKnight of Bowmanville and Sid Warden of Darlington. Hal McKnight of Bowman- ville said the board should, not be swayed by emotional arguments and further poinited out that the Castleton group in addressing the board, a week previous, had not provided any new in- formation. Port Hope Trustee Wilf Day said it was not only a matter of saving mnoney but also the moving of students and teachers to other schools would make staffing more ef- ficient and provide schools that are better organized to serve the children. Somne nmembers of the board questioned staff figures as to enrolment and money saved through the closing.
