Need $150,000 For Busing HANOVER PARK Dwight F. Longley, president of the Hanover Park Regional Board of Education, predicted a budget figure for 1968-69 of $150,000 for busing of private school children under the new school busing law. This figure, plus increases in educational costs, will make fora for next year, he said. He based this budget prediction on the bill of $65,000 received by the regional district for busing private high school students in the 67-68 school year. No bill has yet been received for grade school students.
