De7a r Sir .
     your letter at han  requestin   an opinion of this
department, which, in part, reada

          'Where a school district  employs and
          hires a private  individual to furnish
          transportation for the  students attend-
          ing that particular school,  said busses
          to travel over a designated  route,
          what is the responsibility  of the person
          so employed to furnish  transportation,
          to pick up or deliver  the child at its
          designated place of pick up  and de-

the responsibility of a person employed  to furnish transporta-

to follow the designated route  in furnishing such transportation.

     It is possible that your question  presents more of a
practical one which might be worked  out between the school board
and bus driver, with the aid of  the county superintendent of
schools.  While you do not state  what type of school district
is involved in the particular  situation  we call your attention
to Section 10327-a, Laws of 7issouri,  1947, Vol. 1, page 497,
