A special school transport service may be established and maintained on condition that a minimum daily number of not fewer than ten eligible children from a distinct locality will avail regularly of the service to their nearest school.
As the number of eligible children offering for transport from the Fehanaugh and Gurrane areas is now ten, I have sanctioned the establishment of a special service for these children. This service will commence as soon as possible.
