district officials agreed were within the three mile walking distance by the nearest passable route set by board policy and no bus was provided The problem is that the shortest distance between homes in the Island Cache and the senior secondary school annex leads through the dangerous CNR yards One of the two alternatives to trespassing on railway property ducking under cars which cotild be shunted at any means of instituting a merit sjstcm Some means of rewarding the caiicr ttddim who aie stuving to do a belter job for their students and the community and of upholding their good
