Section 37 (1) of the Schools Administration Act reads, "A board may provide transp- ortation for its resident pupils to and from a school that the board operates or for its pupils for whom it pays fees in a school operated by another board."

Broad - foot reminded the board that some of the children from fam- ilies where their youngsters attend the Christian School Board School in Clinton attend public school kindergartens and opportunity classes. "Is this discrimination?" asked Broadfoot. Broadfoot further said that if decisions hinge on "customs and traditions" as suggested by Bruinsma, it could also be attributed to the Christian School Board, RECEPTION and DANCE in honour of MR. & MRS.
