It will be stipulated in the specifications that the con- tractor shall be responsible for the repair of any dam- age to school property and for restoration of the site to its present condition upon completion of the addition. Two additional class- rooms will be added to Roselawn School as the most practical and feasible approach to provision of additional classroom ac- commodation to serve the Charles Howitt and Rose- lawn School attendance ar- reas. This decision was contained in the property committee’s report to Vaughan Township School Area Board Thursday even- ing of last week. Trustee Terry Goodwin noted that the Roselawn School had been designed to have classrooms added. STOUFFVILLE: Local residents will not soon forget the circus. which played here last week.
