bus will go
distance
Concern for the safety of a
six-year-old Grade 1 student
at Brookside Public School in
Ashfield Township was the
overriding factor in the Huron
County Board of Education's
decision to allow the child's
school bus to travel an extra
1,900 feet.
The board made the deci-
sion at its December 5
meeting, but not all trustees
agreed.
Trustee John Jewitt said
that in the past he has had
similar requests for school
buses to pick up students at
their driveway. but because
of board policy he hadn't
brought the requests to the
board.
Busing policy allows
elementary students to walk
up to a quarter of a mite to
catch the, school bus and
secondary school students
can walk up to a half mile.
Jewitt wondered aloud if he
should present to the board a
list of people who have come
to him with similar requests.
In the past he has informed
those making such requests of
the board's policy. '
Management committee
.chairman Murray Mulvey
defended his committee's
recommendation by stating
that the bus would only be go-
ing the extra distance for
three winter months. from
December to March. He add-
ed that because of re-routing
which won't attect the other
students, the bus will not have
to turn around on the
roadway.
At its November meeting,
the board heard from the
mother of the child, Mrs. A.
Meader of Port Albert-, re-
questing that her daughter be
picked up at the driveway
during the winter months
because snowbanks and
winds off Lake Huron present
safety hazards to the child
walking to catch the bus.
"My concern is that we are
deviating from policy.
Everybody feels they have
special circumstances. I'm
quite prepared to take the
heat from individuals and
prepared to tell them we
operate within the guidelines.
Now we're getting away from
guidelines. I'd hate to put any
child in jeopardy, but I can't
see that we are," said Jewitt.
Trustee John Elliot agreed
noting that to him it seems
that if a special presentation
is made to the management
committee. guidelines can be
altered.
Board vice-chairman
Eugene Frayne emphasized
that the arrangement is only
for three months and "no pro-
mises" were made to make
similar arrangements next
year.
"Probably in the future we
will have to look at safety on
an individual basis," said
Frayne.
