Council received a request from Whitchurch Township ask- ing that Richmond Hill pass a resolution to be forwarded to the County who will request the province to pass legislation to enable school boards to collect non-resident fees for foster chil- dren. The suggestion was de- signed by Whitchurch to remove the burden of education for fost- er children from the shoulders of the ratepayers. For some time, School supporters have been bearing the cost of educat- ing children placed in foster homes by various welfare agen- cies. With the increasing num- ber of children being put into private homes in recent years the impact of this additional cost is now being felt by many muni- cipalities.
