A table is a piece of [[furniture]] with a horizontal surface supported above the ground. One logical extension, namely use of '''''to table''''', with the meaning ''to place on a table'', is seldom used in a literal sense. Rather, it often evokes the ''imagined'' placement on a table of an (actual or figurative) [[document]] stating a [[proposal]].

'''Allentown Central Catholic High School''' is a [[parochial school]] located at 301 North Fourth Street in [[Allentown, Pennsylvania|Allentown]], [[Pennsylvania]], in the [[United States]]. It predominantly serves students from the [[Lehigh Valley]] region of the state.

As of 2006, the school's total enrollment is 934 students, with a nearly equal number of female and male students. The school competes athletically in the [[Lehigh Valley Conference]] in District XI of the [[Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association]]. It plays its home [[American football|football]] and some of its [[soccer]] games at [[J. Birney Crum Stadium]], a 15,000 capacity stadium in the city.

Such placement could facilitate either examining or storing the document (and likewise the proposal embodied by it). Thus in [[deliberation|deliberative]] bodies, "tabling" a proposed measure leaves room for contrary intentions; those bodies' [[rules of order]], or simply accepted [[tradition]], may specify which of these is implied.

In fact, the meaning does vary among English-speaking countries:

===Academic accomplishments===

*In [[British English]], to "table" a measure is to propose it for consideration, as in bringing it to the [[legislative]] table. See [[British Parliament]] for examples.

*First place, ''[[Scholastic Scrimmage]]'', 2005 and 2006.

*In [[American English]], by contrast, to "table" a measure is to postpone its further consideration until a later date, as in leaving it on the table. See [[US Congress]] for examples.
