own buses was a question pondered by members of the york county board of educa tion a staff report indicated that transportation costs for county schools arc in the neighborhood of half a million dollars yearly but even this figure does not include expenditures for special trips the dept of education gives grants for purchase of buses and on costs of bringing students to and from schools but not field trips it was therefore suggested it might be of benefit to buy several buses for this purpose trustee warren bailie noted that the vaughan twp school area board had leased a bus and sup plied a driver it was thought this might be a possible solution for the county board pending completion of a thorough study includ ing costs of transporta tion for all field trips the board agreed that new contracts should be enter ed into with interested bus operators but that these should not extend bcvond june 1970 at which time the matter will be rcasscsscd
