the original part of the basement so that it may once again be rented out This will be a major expenditure The water that seeps in must be stopped and then the walls and floor have to be refurbished The kitchen will have to be outfitted As this is the only section of the community centre that is not in use it is important that this work be completed so that rental in- Ballinafad News come can be

information regarding the suspension of trips was received by principals on February The memo also informed prin cipals that though trips within North America are not suspended at this time it is important that parents students and staff be sensitized to the implications sur rounding excursions Principals were directed to follow the cur rent Board policy and guidelines relating to travel within North America Chair of the Board Bill Har rison emphasizes that This was certainly not an easy deci sion to make but we had to put the wellbeing of our people beyond all other concerns Though we recognize that there are some financial implications to this decision it is our expecta tion that principals will negotiate with carriers and agents to minimize the financial impact of this
