Hayes recently and both are now home We wish you both a return to good health Charles Tutty By LISA The Herald If taxpayers want in creased service in school tran sportation theyre going to have to pay big bucks for it A Transportation Committee report presented to Halton Board of Education last Thursday revealed if parents want a reduced distance eligibility for bus transportation its going to cost taxpayers an estimated 105000 more at the kin dergarten level more at the level and more at the Gr level These figures were included the Boards Student Transportation Policy is currently being revised The old policy distance guidelines set bus transportation at 1 Kindergarten to Grade 2if Walking distance is more than km 2 Grade 3 to than 32 km and 3Grade to than kilometres In their revision of the present policy the transportation com mittee came up with five alter natives to change the policy which trustees will vote on Nov 28 The alternatives include distance eligibility for Kindergarten to 10 km at a cost of reduce distance eligibility for ls to 16 km at a cost of and reduce distance eligibility for Grade at a cost of 2Keep existing policy distance eligibility requirements the same except for Kindergarten which would change to 10 km at a cost of 105000 Keep existing policy but change Kindergarten to 10 km and Grade 35 to km at a cost of 105000 and respectively present policy and change only Grade 35 distance of 16 km at a cost of Dick 5Keep existing policy with no change at no cost Georgetown school board trustee Richard sits on the Tran sportation Committee and said he personally isnt in favor of in creased transportation costs if it will increase the boards present expenditure budget forecast of 78 percent He also stated he wouldnt sup port increasing transportation costs if it meant programslike the Grade 3 swim program or the computer program would have to be cut from the budget It all comes down to how high a priority transportation is in terms of budget for me he mitting that striving for a lower budget would be a higher priority One reason for Mr par tial support of the transportation policy may be because in Halton Hills increased busing isnt as hot an issue as in other parts of Ive had less than five phone calls from local residents com plaining that their kids have to walk too far to school said Mr As well Hills has few areas where walking can be hazar dous he said The only real hazardous place I can think of is the tunnel under the railway tracks in the northern part of Georgetown and we already bus the kids whod have to walk under the tunnel he said Being a committee member he found most of the parents worried about distance eligibility for bus transportation came from small pockets of people outside of North Halton A fair amount of people wanted change in those pockets but in ter ms of the huge area the board covers it was a small proportion of people that wanted change he said In their report to the board the Transportation Committee as a whole stated in their summary reduced transportation distance eligibility is necessary to alleviate parents concerns and provide ser vice in line with surrounding boar ds Whatever trustees vote to do whether it be reducing distance eligibility or keep the existing policy it will be implemented in September 1992 and remain ef fective until
