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."
Dr. Alex Addison felt the
Ontario Department of Educat-
ion should provide some guid-
ance on this matter.
"They want to stay right
away from it, " said Elliott.
"We can be the dogs."
Elliott added that this quest-
ion of Christian Schools or any
other parochial schools is
"difficult" and can "cause war."
"It shouldn't be allowed to
go that far, " added Elliott.
Charlie Rau of the Zurich
area, who is the Separate School
representative was asked for his
opinion.
"I think I'll just stay clear, "
said Rau.
John Broadfoot took time
during the meeting to refute
some statements made in a
letter to the County Editors
from Cecil Bruinsma.
Broadfoot said that although
Bruinsma said "the operation
of our school is saving the
County Board around $100, 000
annually, " it was actually
costing the Huron taxpayers
money. The vice-chairman
claimed that if the Christian
School students were incorpor-
ated into the public school
system, the provincial grants
would be increased and figured
on a "different ratio." effect-
ing more economical education
for the county public school
supporters.
Bruinsma further charged
"discrimination" against the
Christian School 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,
