SCHOOL BOARD: THE SHANDON SCHOOL

A communication was read from the Education Department refusing their sanction to the school at Shandon being used for educational purposes, on the ground that the ceiling was not 10 feet in height, and also because of some defects in the approach to the school.

The chairman said the school had been formerly sanctioned by the department, and since then there had been no change of circumstances, besides it was only used as an infant school with not more than 20 in attendance.

The clerk was instructed to write to the Education Board pointing out these facts, and to ask the Board to reconsider their decision.
