History
Main article: History
The MLEA can trace its beginnings back to the early 1850s, where each month, one of the Gentry had to donate a set amount of money to the council for the running of the Malton schools. The schools themselves were mismatched affairs, in a library one week, and in a pub the next. The Elevenstools School holds the record with classes held in over 500 different locations.
However corruption was rife in the ranks and quite a few city counsellors were recorded as having being blackmailed and bribed so the Gentry didn't have to donate for a year or two. Rumours also circulated Malton that a West Grayside counsellor was assasinated by one particular, disgruntled person.
Luckily for the Gentry, the Government's 1870 Elementary Education Act introduced a Malton School Board with the first permanent school buildings in the area built.
The Malton school board was abolished in 1902 due to the introduction of the Education Act
