A proposal regarding amalgamation has been received from the authorities of the two schools in question. The proposal is under consideration in my Department. Among the factors to be considered is a report from the local inspector, expected shortly. My officials will be in correspondence with the school authorities regarding the proposed amalgamation in due course.
