8 Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, March 27, 2003 Trips (continued from page 1) to any orange or red areas. Still at issue is the four-day, three-night senior trip to Wash- ington D.C. Roberts said no de- cision has formally been made on the trip that is a tradition in the district. “They've been doing the Wash- ington trip here as long as I can remember. It precedes me and I've been here 32 years,” he said. Roberts, who said he has grave reservations about send- ing students to the capital, said the issue will be brought up at the April school board meeting for discussion. Other trips to be changed in- clude an elementary level trip to Philadelphia and a 10th grade trip to Baltimore.
