Wingharn trustee Jack
Alexander asked Kenwell
why she had moved here
asking if the family was
"renters moving around
a lot". The Wingham
fruStee, looking at the
report from Kenwell that
outlined the hefty tran-
sport at ion. - costs,
suggested that it may -be
cheaper forthe board- to
"buy a house in London
and leave them there"
suggesting it may be less
than what the board will
pay in daily tran-
sportation fees.
John Cochrane director
of education told the
board that he was not
exactly clear on the
board's responsibilities
under the education act
but said that to the best of
his memory the board
had a responsibility to
pay tuition fees only for
the Youngster. He said
the hoardhad, the option
to pay none, a share of, or
all the costs of tran-
sportation.
Kenwell pointed out
that he was not familiar
with the family but did -
know that the father "did
not move this time" with
the family. He added that
the board's share of the
transportation for Exeter
Coach Lines would be 18
percent. That share
amounts to $3.60 a day'.
Vice chairman Don
McDonald asked if the
child could be put up in
London in a boarding
hous

said Ken
Bo
Ellio
d chairman John
pointed o'ut after
the meeting that the fees
to send the Bullock child
to London were probably
not that much more than
fees the board pays to
transport mentally
