We are requested by the Eagle
River High School board to publish
certain sections of Chapter 49, Laws
of 1923, pertaining to powers given
school boards in respect to transporta
ton and board of public school pupils.
(b) The electors of any school dis
trict are empowered to authorized the
district board to provide transporta
ton to and from school for any or
all of the children of school age resid
ing in the district for whom transpOr
tation is not required by law. In any
school district where the electors
have failed or refused to provide tran
sportation for children living more
than two miles from the school in
the home district, distance measured
by the nearest travelled highway, the
parent or guardian may transport or
provide for the transportation of such
child. or children to and from school
in the home district or to and from
a school in another district and shall
be paid for such transportation by the
district in which the child resides at
the rate Of thirty cents per day for
the first child, twenty cents per day
for the second child, and ten cents per
day for the third child in his family
and under his care, provided the
child or children shall have attended
for not less than six months the trans
portation to be safe, comfortable and
convenient The district in which
such children reside shall be EMIT
led to state aid on account of trans
portation of such children at the
rate. of ten cents per day for each
child so transported and no compensa-
ton for transportation shall be paid
by the district or the state for more
than three children in any one family
(3) If in the judgment of the
board it is to the interest of the dis
Rtrict to provide board and lodging in
| lieu of transportation for all or part
of the period for which transportation
has been authorized by the electors,
or is desired by parents or guardians,
or is required by law, for children
residing more than four miles from
the nearest school in the home dis
trict, it shall be the duty of such
board to make arrangements whereby
such children shall be boarded and
| lodged in suitable place not more
| than one-half mile from the school,
unless the parent or guardian con-
sent to a greater distance, not to ex.
coed one mile The board shall make
contract in writing with the person
or persons with whom such child CT
children board and shall pay for the
board and lodging Of such pupil OF
pupils from the general fund, provid
ing the amount so paid for board and
lodging of any child not to exceed two
dollars per school week Of five days
and the district shall be compensated
by the state at the rate of twenty
cents per day for each day such child
is suitably boarded and lodged.
We are also authorized to say thai
there need be no confusion as to the
opening of school as the grade schools
will open as usual next Monday, Sept
3rd. In another article Principal
Kracht gives the date of the opening
of the High School as nearly as can
be determined at this time. Should
any change be necessary the public
will be notified as soon as known.
