The estimated price for an executive detached two-story (2,000 sq. ft. with two-car garage) is $190,000, down from $200,000 three months ago bût 26 per cent higher than a year ago ($150,000). The survey estimates the price of standard two-story (1,500 sq. ft., detached garage) in Whitby at $155,000, unchanged from three months ago and 24 per cent higher than a year ago ($125,000). The latest townhouse price estimated is $125,000, also un- changed from three months ago but 17 per cent higher than a year ago ($107,000). N review ofpolicy FROM PAGE 3 students (living in the larger urban areas of the region) are bused while others are not. Over the past several years, the question of busing ail immersion students has split board trustees, with one side arguing that witholding busing made the im- inersion program available only to those whose parents had the time and means to transport their children toand from sehool. The other view taken was one of dollars and cents, Last year, board staff estimated that busing al French immersion students would cost about $700,000 in 1987 and $900,000 in 1988. The motion passed at the recent board of education meeting directs staff to prepare a report including projections on how busing might allow for the expansion of the Fren- ch immersion program. The board wants to know just how many ad- ditional students might enter the immersion program if transpor- tation was provided, how much more space would be required to house the additional students, and how many new teachers would have to be hired to accommodate said increase. The report will also consider the number of immersion students now being transported, safety con- siderations and the general status of the I0-year-old program.
