School Board Upholds Suspension
The Hoke County Board of
Education voted unanimously
Monday night to uphold the 10-day
suspension of a Hoke County High
School student for possessing a
marijuana cigarette on the school
grounds.
The board took the action after
hearing witnesses, including the
student and his parents, in an open
meeting of close to an hour and in
an executive session of about three
hours in which the board members
heard from school officials and
discussed the subject.
Board member Mina Townsend
was- unable to attend the meeting
because she was in Moore Memo
rial Hospital at Pinehurst.
The board was given the follow
ing information by witnesses for the
school and on behalf of the student.
Jay Headen.
James Baxley, a teacher, on
entering a bathroom to check about
7:55 a.m. February 23, saw Headen
swallow a "joint" of marijuana.
Harold Livingston, an assistant
principal appointed to investigate
the matter by Principal Lenwood
Simpson, said Headen admitted he
had the "joint" but that he had
brought it to school for a friend.
Livingston said Headen volun
teered to submit to a search, that
the search was made but "nothing"
was found on the student's person.
Headen denied he had the
"joint" of marijuana and that he
had answered "Yes" to the ques
tions Livingston asked because he
was "scared" of what was going to
happen.
The information given the board
was Headen swallowed the cigarette
on seeing Baxley enter the bath
room and that he was getting ready
to light it. Headen said the
cigarette was not a marijuana
"joint" but one containing regular
tobaat?. ????>?" . ....
The matter had come to the
school board on Headen's appeal
from Simpson's suspension. A
school system rule prohibits a
student from possessing or using a
"controlled substance (illegal
drug)" on school property.
(Headen was not one of the eight
students arrested by law enforce
ment officers February 23 for
alleged drug violations. Infor
mation given the board in reference
to Headen indicated the arrests of
the students were made about an
hour after Baxley saw Headen
allegedly swallow the "joint.")
Besides hearing the personal
statements of the school officials
and teacher, the board also was
given a written statement made by
a student, whose name was not
revealed, but who was described as
an eyewitness to the bathroom
incident. The statement was issued
to the school authorities, the board
was informed.
In other business during the
board's monthly meeting, the
board decided to meet with the
Hoke County commissioners the
afternoon of March 15 for a visit to
the county schools to see at first
hand what the schools' needs were
with respect to physical conditions.
The tour will be made in prepara
tion for forming of a school system
budget this spring for fiscal 1982
83.
The board also decided to hold a
meeting that night, starling at 7
p.m.
The commissioners had in
formed the school board they would
inspect the schools on the board's
invitation.
The school board also voted to
rescind the Reduction in Force
policy adopted at its January 5
meeting and replace it with a policy
containing a procedure provided by
the General Assembly for dis
charging members of staffs when
changes in program or reductions
in financing make such layoffs
necessary. The alternate policy
adopted was recommended by
County Schools Supt. Raz Autry.
The board also adopted a motion
calling for a change in the proposed
school calendar for the 1982-83
school year to have the fall term
start September 1 which is two days
later than the six-member teachers'
calendar committee had recom
mended. Board member Bobby
Wright requested the change be
cause the September instead of late
August start of school would allow
Hoke farmers two extra needed
days of student help. He mentioned
the tobacco crop specifically.
The board left to the teachers'
calendar committee the respon
sibility of making up the two extra
days between the start and the close
of the school year.
The board provided that the
calendar committee report to the
board at its March 15 meeting with
the revised calendar so the board
can adopt it.
