‘The Skeena-Cassiar’. * School
District, is in area, the largest
in. British Columbia, . extending

‘addition to the major towns, a
number of smaller. communities,

pupllg, 164 teachers, a large
administrative and maintenance
staff, which provides for an an-
nual budget. of.two and a half
Taillion dollars. This is, in all
respects, very big business,

The district is administered
by a board of seven trustees,
elected from various regions of
the district. This board oper=

School Act, which- defines its’
funetion and authority. In the
past the Board satisfactorily dis-
charged its duty by looking after

increased cost is reflected in

weighs heavily on the local dis-
