AS the State requires a definite
number of children to be enrolled in
an accredited high school in order to
receive State aid, and as the County
lost 81 900 of State aid one year, due
to the failure Of one school not hav-
ing the required enrolment. tho
Board passed the following resolu-
ton: "A high school student must
attend the high school located in the
District in which the child lives un-
less a written permit to attend an
other high school is granted by the
Board" The Board reserved thu
right to grant written permission to
attend another school, feeling that in
some cases on account of road con-
ditions, it might be almost impos-
sible to attend the home school.
