Local com- mittees composed of parents, trustees, priests, and teachers under the chairmanship of a principal will develop local un- derstandings, clarify the needs, receive community input, and generally develop assistance from Consultant Sister Marjorie Casey. Religion Consultant John Prokopich will assist in maintaining consonance with Religion programmes.
