to get the required number of
training hours before June 30.
"All members of this company
will get at least 36 hours of
training per year,"he said.
Plans for the N.C.V.F.A.
convention scheduled to be
held in Warrenton in July,
1978, were discussed by the
members at large. Captain
Cheek told his men that he
wanted the convention here
next because the Warrenton
company will be 110 years old,
making it one of the oldest
continuing black companies in
the state.
Development
(Continued from page 1)
unfortunate that one had to
make a choice.
Supt. Peeler pointed out
when a member raised the
point of criticism of his vote,
that the election of either man
was hound to raise criticism;
Banzet as president of the
Academy, which his children
attend, and Ballance for his
activ ism during the school riots
at John Graham several years
ago.
When it appeared that there
was division in the board with
one member asking for more
time to make up his mind, it
was voted to table the matter
until the April meeting.
Also tabled for a latermeeting
was the consideration
of a policy of confidentiality of
student records.
Jay Freeman, Vocational
Rehablitation Administrator,
and Doug Pittard, Rehabilita
tion Counselor, appeared
before the board to discuss the
possibility of joining in a
vocational rehabilitation pro
gram with other high schools in
Region K. The program is
largely financed with state and
federal funds. Freeman said.
Schools participating with
grades 10. 11,12, were Franklin
County with 1202 students;
Franklinton City, 283 students;
Granville County. 1637 students;
Person County, 1464
students; Vance County, 1638;
and Warren County, 920.
The total share of the six
schools is $5,841.00 which
Warren's share is $817.14, or 14
percent of the total costs to the
six schools. The board members
were much impressed with the
examples of rehabilitation cited
by Freeman and Pittard, but
delayed acceptance until all
schools affected would indicate
their decisions, as this would
affect the cost of the individual
counties.
Headquarters, Freeman said,
would be in Henderson, and
two counselors and a director
would be appointed to serve the
six systems, working with local
guidance counselors and other
staff members and county
agencies.
