The families live on a 70 -acre parcel of land in Hay Township south of the vil- lage, land that Hensall council wants to annex. If annexation goes through, • then the land is officially part •!, of the village, which means the Huron County board of education will stop busing the school children living there to Hensall Public School. The householders • objecting to the, annexation bid due to' the • ' busing` situation are Bill and Theresa Freeth, Bill and Beverley Simpson, Campbell and Grace Eyre and Harold and Mary Elliott. Although Hensall Public School isn't a great distance away, the children in these families will have to . walk about one-quarter of a mile along Highway #4, before reaching the village streets.

Huron County board of education is concerned if they continue busing the children should annexation be approved, then this would set a precedent in busing urban children to school. Huron County board of education director John Cochrane said the situation right now is "up in the air." A suggestion that the pro perty owned by the four families be left out of annexation, so busing could continue, hasn't been greeted with much en thusiasm by planners, opposed to leaving a finger of Hay Township jutting into the village of Hensall. Reeve Harold Knight said the village has asked for a three -to -five year busing commitment from the board and despite the prOblems involved, hopes something If the problem isn't solved, and the families continue to object to the annexation bid, then the whole matter could go before an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing.
