THUR&TON, Editor Open Letter To Rock Mills And Eugenia School Boards Gentlemen: The board of Flebhenon-Arteme- eia Hit^h School has instructed me to inform the Pubic School Boards con- cerning operation of the School Bus. in order that such Boards may as- certain the desires of their rate- payer^ at the approaching annual meeting. The continuance of the operation of a bus in your school district after June, 1946, will be dependent upon Uw action of your local Public School Board. Arrangements should be made before that time if it is de- sired to continue operation of the tNlS. Factors significant in the opera- tion of a bus a's follows: (1) This Hisrh School Board's permit to oper- ate- the bus was granted by the De- partment of Education in the expec- tation that Public School Boards would apply for permission to con- tinue the service after seeing its feasibilty demonstrated. (2) The High School's permit to operate the bus service expires in June, 1946. (3) Departmental regulations pro- vide that two or more public school sections niay operete a transporta- tion service to their own 'schools, •Jid to carry their students to a High School. (4) A direct Departmental grant of 59% of the cost of such ser- vice is paid to the public school boards. (5) Each Board's share of the cost is included in its cost of op- erating the public school. Upon this cost the Department then pays its resnilar grant according to the sche- • dule, "Grants General", December, 1944; to a maximum of 96% of the approved cost. (6) Some Public f5chool Sections in Grey are supply- ing tranaportation for their pupits at a cost of only $15 oer year to the rate-payers of the section. (7) Further details may be secured from the Public School instpector, the De- partment of Education, and the High School Board. I will be glad to supply you with further information concerning cost of operating the local bus, if you are interested in continuing thi's service. Your truly, Roy Piper, Sec.-Treas. Of all the surprises. There^ nothing to compare With treading in the darkness On a step th«t isn't there.
