What steps may be taken, to have the matter adjusted? Answer â€" Section 68 (11) of the Public Schools Act states: "Where complaint is made to the Inspector by an elector" that the elec- tion of a trustee, or that the proceed- ings of any part thereof of a school meeting have not been in conformity with this Act, the Inspector shall in- vestigate the complaint and confirm the election or proceedings if found to be in substantial accordance with this Act, or set the same aside if found not to be in substantial accordance | there-with, and in the latter event he shall appoint a time and place for a new election or for the reeonsideratioii of t'.'.e school question, but no com- plaint will be entertained unless madt in writing to the Inspector withir, twenty days after the holding of the election or meeting; and it shall not be incumbent upon the Inspector to set a.side such election or any pro- ceedings for want of formal com- pliance with the provisions of this Act if he is satisfied that the result ot such election or proceeding has not been affected thereby." Question. â€" Under what condition should the ratepayers of a School Sec- tion who are not resident in the Schooi Section be required to pay non-resi- dent fees for their children attending the school? Answer â€" Section 85 of the Public Schools Act requires a Board of Trus- tees to admit to school any non-resi- dent pupils if the Inspector reports that the accommodations in the school are sufficient for the admission of such pupils and that the school is more accessible for them than tht school in the School Section or Urban Municipality in which the pupils re- side. Unless the parent is assessed in the School Section where the pupils are to attend for an amount equal to the average assessment of residents in that School Section the parent may be required to pay fees but the fees shall not exceed an average cost pei pupil of the maintenance of the school. Ilhe usual method of calculating the non-resident fees to be charged non- resident pupils is to substract from the total cost of maintaining of tht school for the preceding calendar year the total legislative, county and township grants received, then divide the balance by the total number of, pupils enrolled in the school during the preceding calendar year. The quotient will be the non-resident fee payable for one year's tuition for the non resident pupils. LiTc Stock Report g.? r.
