SEP <br />2 1936 <br />BOOK 65 FA4,�586 <br />DISCUSSION ABOUT SCHOOL BOARD'S <br />NONCOMPLIANCE IN SUBMITTING <br />SITE <br />PLANS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SCHOOLS <br />Attorney Vitunac requested permission to file suit against <br />the School Board for their failure to obtain site plan approval <br />before beginning construction on several new schools.
