Dead on arrival at Bear River Box Four secondary school students from Bear River City will have it their way going north to school at Bear River High and Junior High thanks to special permission granted by the Box Elder Board of Education Wednesday. The action came at a regular board meeting which saw the district officials also extend a bus route for Grouse Creek school, and learn about other "questionable" bus service in the district. The board previously gave parents in Bear River City the right to send their children either to Box Elder Junior High in Brigham City or Bear River Junior High at Garland. However, the decision was to be made as the students entered seventh grade. Greeting the board Wednesday was a request for four students from three families, none seventh graders, to switch from Box Elder to Bear River this year. They included two ninth graders, oqe sophomore and a junior. Each had registered at Bear River on a tenatlve basis. already In stamping the shift with approval, the board also adopted a policy governing future student transfers. ' Among other things, the policy says bus routes wont be altered to accomdate transfers and written permission from the superintendent, requested by the parents, is necessary for students to change school. As proposed, the policy gave the either-wa- y option to Honeyville, another border town, as well as Bear River City. But board members were not willing to accept inclusion of Honeyville. However, it was disclosed that two students living at Crystal Springs, which is within the Honeyville corporate limits, already are attending Bear River. Board member Arnold Thompson, never a convert to the option privilege in Bear River City, spoke against it again. Its financially irresponsible to send kids from a community both ways. It was a wrong decision and is just going to create more turmoil, Thomspon stated. He dissented in a vote approving the , 1 policy. Deioris Stokes agreed it. that "it was wrong when we did But Ralph Carter argued that sometimes it may help students to participate in activities that otherwise might be denied them in a larger school. Unanimous approval was given for the bus serving Grouse Creek school to extend its run and pick up students at Lucin.
