Parents League Debates Policy of Education Board Ward two's newly elected Board of Education trustee, Bob Burke steppied into his position earlier than expected last Wednesday night by answering questions present- ed by members of the recently form ed Parent Action League. One of the primary concerns fabout 25 parents who gathered at the league's second meeting since its formation was the bus service provided by the Northumber- land and Newcastle Board of cording to a large per- ce-niage of those parents, transportation is not available for students who attend schools in the north and northeastern parts of town from the Waverley Gardens area. Mr. Burke said the problem was not just a concern of the board's, but was also an issue facing the municipality., The board's transportation policy restricts children living tbree miles or under from using buses provided- for students in the rural area, he said. The polièy is set by the provincial ministry of educa- tion which also subsidizes themi for transportation costs, he told the league. Students in homes east of Martin Rd. and north of the Baseline Rd. are also within town boundaries which means they are not eligible for the bus service under the present policy. But transportation services should now be a question to go before town council as well, he added. Mr. Burke pointed out that with $2 million of the board's $32 million budget spent on transportation last year, an increase in taxes would occur if service were improved in 1977. The new trustee will officiaI- ly take his position along with the present ward two repre- sentative, Andrew Thompson at the first board meeting in the new year.
