Board stops
buying buses
ByGORD WHITEHEAD
The dispute over the
benefits of school bus
ownership was put to rest
last week by Middlesex
County Board of Education
when trustees voted 8-7
against buying more buses.
Board members were
sharply divided over the ac
curacy of figures used by a
consulting firm which
suggested that the school
board could operate its own
buses more cheaply than
private operators who con
tract to supply most of the
system’s transportation.
The close vote rejected the
purchase of three 72-
passenger vehicles which
would have expanded the
board-owned fleet to 11 by
September; 1979.
“You can always argue
with numbers”, board chair
man Jim Scott admitted as
he voted for the purchase.
Vice-chairman Hugh Baird
claimed rising repair and
gasoline costs had made the
consultant’s report obsolete
and invalid.
One of the board’s major
bus contractors, Michael
Murphy of Arva, wrote a
letter in which he disputed
six parts of the consulting
report and concluded - “I
believe that if the mentioned
changes were made to
mileage rates, bookkeeping
charges, route mileages and
bus sizes, the actual cost to
the board for contracting is
less than for board-owned
buses.”
Tuition fees and transpor
tation for Middlesex County
resident students to attend a
French-language school in
London will not be paid by
the county board, trustees
also decided last week.
Three Francophone families
who recently moved to
Middlesex discovered in late
August that they would have
to pay monthly tuition fees
of $75 per pupil at the city’s
Ecole Alexandre.
County trustees were told
that their own system has
staff and facilities for in
tegrating non-English-
speaking students and they
feared setting a precedent
for similar requests from
families of other language
backgrounds.
A first-day enrolment
report showed a decrease of
334 elementary pupils in
Middlesex since June and an
increase of 92 secondary .
students but Director of
Education John Gummow
noted that continuing
summer jobs and other fac
tors may have kept some
students away.
In north Middlesex,
- Biddulph-Lucan Public
School had first-day
attendence of 474, down
from 491 in June while
McGillivray decreased
five to 211.
