A motion made by the Algoma District School Board to eliminate a trustee position within the board was narrowly defeated at Tuesday night’s board meeting.
The motion to combine Elliot Lake and areas of the north shore corridor would have seen the North Shore trustee position eliminated.
If it had passed, it would have eliminated the trustee position of North Shore – Highway 17 now held by Robert McEachren.
The vote resulted in a 5-5 tie, which defeated the motion.
The board needs to determine the number of trustees by March 31st for the election
