February26 meeting, that ' the
project is a "fine example' of
parents s and the board getting
together. `
He pointed out that ' the worJc

the parents want done on the school
grounds, but according to the
business department it is all the
b oa d can afford tins year.
The program is subject to the
final budget and joint planning with
the parent association.
On the list for .. this year are
improvements to the main entrance
of the school; extension of the area
for playground equipment, a basket.
b llal court, and a hard topped games
area behind the 'school. •
The parent association has also
identified the need for a running
track, soccer field and fenced
bicycle area, but those items are not
yet in the budget. The board said it
has concerns about those projects,
including ongoing maintenance
costs.
