Judge Isaac E Schoonover of the Fountain circuit court settles a Indiana school transport dispute. The ruling states that pupils living in a township must be transported by their home township while enrollment transfers to another township relinquish transport claims. Only tuition payments cross township lines, clarifying funding duties for Jackson and Millcreek trustees and easing confusion for multiple counties.
