Section 1907. Transportation of pupils

The  board of education of such
  central high school district may cause transportation to be furnished to
  the pupils residing in the district who  are  entitled  to  attend  such
  central high school or other public or non-public high school within the
  central  high  school  district  and  who reside so remote from the high
  school they legally attend that they will be deprived of  the  privilege
  of attendance thereat unless such transportation is furnished.  The cost
  of  such  transportation  shall  be  a  charge against such central high
  school district and shall be  raised  by  tax  without  a  vote  of  the
  district  and be paid in the same manner as are any expenditures for the
  support and maintenance of such  central  high  school  district.    The
  commissioner  of  education may, upon sufficient notice to such board of
  education and after an opportunity to such board  to  be  heard  in  its
  defense,   issue   an   order  directing  such  board  to  provide  such
  transportation.
