School district reorganization in Nova Scotia : the West Hants dilemma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study is concerned with the orderly implementation of both the comprehensive school program and the equalization of educational opportunity in Nova Scotia, and is limited to a consideration of the events preceding major revision in school jurisdictions. \nThe study will cite and examine problems encountered in the establishment of amalgamated school boards and will concern itself with the proposal of a program of equal educational opportunity in West Hants. \nDue to the limited scope of the study and the recency of developments pertaining to the realignment of school jurisdictions, sources, of necessity, have been primarily restricted to Departmental publications and personal research. \nNeed for the study is indicated by the fact that West Hants is now isolated from the rest of the Province by two large amalgamated school districts and the Halifax Municipal School System. The study is significant because of the recently initiated investigation by the Department of Education to determine how West Hants school jurisdictions might be operated with greater financial and educational economy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
