Disagreement over where three
additional classroom teachers should
have been allocated created the first
split vote for the newly-elected
Brunswick County Board of Education
Monday night.
Following a lengthy debate, board
Chairman James Forstncr broke a
2-2 tie in favor of approving the personnel
changes as recommended by
ou|*ri iiuenuem Gene ?arorougn.
The board also met in executive
session for lli hours before
unanimously approving a final contract
for Assistant Superintendent
Stephanna Tewey who was hired in
January. The board also hired Diana
Clark Smith as assistant principal of
I.incoln Primary School. Ms. Smith
has taught kindergarten at the school
for 12 years.
Both James Clemmons and Doug
Baxley voted against adding three

According to the changes, Rachael
McNeill will be given additional
duties on the seventh-grade staff at
Shallotte Middle. Robert Pyles, a
science teacher, and l.ynn
Cavanaugh, a reading-English
teacher, will be also work at new
pasitions temporarily on the staff at
West Brunswick until the end of the
school year. Clemmons questioned
who had decided the teachers would
tie allocated to the two schools and
asked why the board had not been informed
of the "new program."
"The bottom line is we still have
classrooms overcrowded," Clemmons
said. The former Lincoln
Primary principal then made a motion
to approve the personnel
changes "on the basis that it will not
lie done again without prior approval
of the board." but his motion died for
lack of a second.

teachers were already on the staff of
the three schools ami havp heen
given additional classes to teach and
been instructed to help other
teachers since January 28. He declined
to call the teacher allotments "a
new program" the schools have just
started.
"If you don't want these temporary
teachers working out there, then
we'll just drop the whole thing," Yarbrough
said. "Then they can go
home. There'll be no legal recourse
and those people can go back to their
classrooms."
Baxley suggested since there had
been a change in the teachers' duties,
then the board should examine the
allotments more closely.
Since the positions were allocated,
"rumors began popping up that there
were new positions open at the central
office," Yarbrough said.
"Maybe someday we'll find out a
reason for all the flack."
"I was never against the appointment
of the teachers," Clemmons
responded. "Wiidl "in saying is, I'm
not going to sit here and go along with
what these teachers are doing. They
<other board members) don't know
what these teachers are doing. I'm
not going to do anything that will hurt
the other schools."

Forstncr agreed there appeared to
be a "change in program" in giving
the teachers additional duties and
asked Yarbrough to keep the board
members informed, "so when we get
phone calls we'll know what's going
on."
Yarbrough said the change was not
an attempt to "rush this on to the
board." He added there had been
"some concern expressed about the
nnsifinn? hv thn lrw>nl NPAIT nnrf nrincipals'
association."
Marvin McKeithan's motion to accept
the personnel changes was
seconded by Jane Causey, but ended
in a 2-2 tie that was broken by
Forstner.
After meeting with attorneys E.J.
Prevatte and Glenn Peterson for 1M:
hours in executive session to discuss
pviiuuig uugauon ana personnel,
the board approved a final contract
with Ms Tewey with two ehnnaes
outlining a reason for discharge based
on days absent due to disability
and other reasons by law. Ms. Clark
was hired as assistant principal at
1 .incoln effective immediately.
The board also hired Joan Skipper,
aide Lincoln Primary; Audrey
Miller, aide Bolivia Elementary; accepted
leaves of absense from Jane
Murray, reading North Brunswick;
Penny Jones, aide Union Primary;
Judy Auman, Southport Elementary;
Laura Kimrey, 1 eland Middle;
and resignations from Doris Holmes,
