School board wants old schools off heritage list

The Greater Essex County District School Board wants the following schools removed from Windsor’s heritage register: • W.D. Lowe (built 1923) and J.L. Forster high (1922) schools • Hugh Beaton (1929), J.E. Benson (1915-1922) /, William G. Davis (1966), Prince Edward (1921), Marlborough (1929) , David Maxwell (1927), Gordon McGregor (1924) and Queen Victoria (1922) public schools. J.L. Forster, J.E. Benson and Marlborough are all located in the west-end. In addition, St. Francis--located in Sandwich Towne--is closing this year. This is not good news for our grade school and high school students, and for the west-end community. School board wants old schools off heritage list
