Mrs. dent, Mary Martin, was presi- in charge of the * meeting. The request to close the schools on Mar. 4, will go to the Donegal School Board, which will hold its February session on Thursday night, Feb. 15. Whether or not the teach- ers are allowed to be absent from their class rooms on the date they have chosen is a decision the board must make. What action members of the board would take was not predictable this week within the brief time elapsed between the Saturday Harris- burg session, the Tuesday meeting at Donegal and the * Thursday night board meet- ing.
