Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, one of the areas we talked about a couple of minutes ago was the $300,000 we have for small school grade extensions, which is allocated on an as needed basis throughout the year for those schools that need assistance. We have capital funds planned for Holman, $1.9 million starting to flow in '98/99. If something is needed before then, we would probably have to call on that $300,000 pot to ensure the school was able to handle the grade extensions. We would look at space requirements as being the first priority for dealing with the needs of the community. If there is a need for space, we will find some way to accommodate it and move things around in the capital plan as necessary. Having said that, I am advised the school is at 62 percent utilization, which means we might not have to advance the funds for an addition, but we might have to spend some of those capital funds to move things around in the schools so it works with the grade extensions. I do not want to give the Member the impression we will automatically have to move the $1.9 million around. We might be able to work within the $300,000 we have in the budget. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
