Since that time the Lenoir County Board of Education $ has made a concerted effort in two directions: (1) To become well-informed on the meaning of school merger as it would affect the Lenoir County Schools, and (2) To hear from the citizens within the county school district as to their opinions on the school merger issue. The Board first took this matter before the School Advisory Councils and PTA Officers last spring and, during the month of September, the Board has held two widely publicized hearings at which time citizens were allowed public expression of opinions as to what they thought was best for the Lenoir County school chil- - dren. As a result of these public hearings, personal contacts, and supportive ^ .formation, it is now the unanimous conviction of the Board of Education that the school merger issue continues to be the most divisive issue ever to face the citizens of Kinston and Lenoir County. It is developing deep bitterness and ill will that is not in the best interest of public education or the future of Lenoir County. Our county people are convinced that if school merger should come about in the near future, the merged school system would be so divided that it would go through years of struggle and instability. THEREFORE, THE LENOIR COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION HEREBY REQUESTS THAT THE LENOIR m COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AND ALL OTHER BODIES HEREBY DROP THE SCHOOL MER- n GER ISSUE AND ALLOW US TO GET ON WITH THE BUSINESS OF EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN. Our city and county school systems have the awesome responsibility of preparing all children to become worthy citizens of the future and we must not waste energy on divisive issues. Recognizing that there are areas where close cooperation would be advantageous to both school systems, the Lenoir County Board of Educa tion is willing to sit down and collaborate with the Kinston City Board of Edu cation and has already made a move to explore these areas. The Board reiterates its desire to serve its electorate and the children of Lenoir County to the best of its ability. While the Lenoir County Board of Education desires to have the best possible working relations with all governmental agencies, organizations, civic groups, and individual citizens who reside in the city and county, the Board feels that it rightfully and most humbly should inform all citizens that EFFORTS TO CON TINUE THE SCHOOL MERGER DEBATE AND FORCE THE ISSUE UPON THE COUNTY PEOPLE AT THIS TIME WILL BE RESISTED WITH EVERY POSSIBLE RESOURCE WITHIN LEGAL AND MORAL
