the board had to decide whether to make the special classes in the annex of KGV school a school-withln-a-school or make it part of the school Some board members felt that Integration would weaken the

freedom � dom of action Mr Philllpson argued that a vice principal or department head in charge of special classes would be relatively free of re restraint � straint from the principal of KGV School because of the specialized type of teaching The decision to make the person In charge of special classes a department head in instead � stead of a vice principal the board will save the difference in
