We feel that it id most valuable as a community resource. <br />· We need a decision as soon as potable since construction on the new art room needs to <br /> begin by the end of the month. <br /> The h/gh school construction budget is under stress. There are no funds available to save <br /> the little theater out of district monies. <br />· We would remodel the small theater to include refurbished seating and new carpeting, out <br /> of district funds. <br />· Saving the theater may allow the community center to avoid building another stage or <br /> performance area. <br /> <br />Lb <br /> <br /> Meml~er North Central Association of <br /> Secondary Schools and Colleges <br /> <br />IE~gI~[[I9'XV~ qOOHOS HOIH ~^IE Nq~:MOHg NV [g' [[ flH£ <br /> <br /> <br />
