she has filled that position with
ability and success. and it would
seem to the entire satisfaction of
every School Board and Superin-
tendent under whom she was
served, and
Whereas. certain charges hav-
ing recently been made against
Miss Reggie. the School Board
has this day given same full con-
sideration. no one appearing be-
fore the said Board to substan-
tate the said charges, although
due notice of the Boards inten-
ton to hear the said charges had
been previously served on Mr..
Ernest Leblanc, copy of said
notice having also been sent at
the same time to Messrs. Alpha
& MCGOWAN, the legal firm
through which the said charges
were transmitted to this Board,
and
Whereas. the Boards investiga-
ton Of the charges against Miss
Reggie has resulted in their find
ing same absolutely unfounded.
therefore,
BE it resolved, That the Board
dismiss the said charges against
Miss Reggie, and affirm its conf
dence in her efficiency and worth
