The board's refusal to budge from its policy of bussing students in urban areas to school could play an integral role in Hensall's bid to annex part of Hay township on the village border. The board was asked to consider continuing bussing the students after the an- nexation is complete. The request from the councils of Hensall and Hay township was that students living on Highway 4 on the fringe of the village continue to be bussed to school until safe walkways to school can be constructed. The temporary bussing is designed to ensure the safety of school children living in the area to be annexed. The highway has an 80 kilometer per hour speed limit posted in front of the childrens homes and there are no sidewalks or street lights for the children to use walking to and from school. The township and town hoped that the board's temporary bussing would remove any hazards to the children until sidewalks and street lighting is constructed in the area. The board policy clearly states that no children in urban areas in the county will travel to school on county owned or operated busses. Exeter trustee Clarence MacDonald told the board the bus stops in the area and picks up children from the homes in the area to be annexed as well as children from a farm across the road. He said even if the an- nexation goes through and the children not picked up on the bus the bus will continue to stop in the same place to pick up children from the farm, MacDonald said parents of the children involved may be able to continue putting their children on the bus if they work out an arrangement with the bus driver. He said the driver would pick up the children as usual except the service would be paid for daily by the parents. Zurich trustee Herb Turkheim told the board the annexation and bussing problem had been "hanging fire for quite a few months." He said "we're (the board) being used as pawns between two sides." Turkheim said one group was in favor of annexation and another opposed and the board's support was being sought by both sides. He warned that if the board made any exceptions to its bussing policy it could be creating problems for the future. He said towns like Gederich and Exeter would probably be expanding in the future and similar requests would be coming from both areas. He asked trustees how the board could refuse bussing then if it gave it now. He recommended that the board either stick to its present policy or change the policy to allow for situations like in Hensall.
