It was a complex case and the boy's mother and school had differing views of the situation, he said. "It's in no-one's interest to have a series of directed enrolments, it's certainly not in the interests of the young boy involved here. Someone is going to have to pick up the responsibility, so constantly revolving them from school to school would compel directive enrolment. Rush urged the government to create a review panel for school board decisions.
