EXPERIMENTAL SCHOOL The loss to York County of Thornlea Secondary School. which opened in 1968. would be especially regrettable. Mr. Mac- Kay said. As the board brief states, “Thornlea draws stud- .ents from well beyond its nor- mal attendance areas. The staff were attracted to it because of‘ its experimental nature. and a considerable amount of board support has been devoted to designing and establishing the special programs in the school. But the evolution has only be- gun. and five or ten years will be required before valid con- clusions can be drawn “ Municipal Affairs Minister Darcy McKeough announced last May that a change in York COUHU"S southern boundary was probable. and would take place in about two years, Since then Mr. McKeough has indi- cated that the province may re- consider the proposal. Mr. MacKay noted that many changes have occurred in the area within the past two years. The county board was formed. The new regional council has been elected. Tax assessments have been put on a county-wide basis. and assessments have been made at market value. a new method These are changes enough 9L and of 1814 Stu_ about 14 portable classrooms.
