Basnight presented a North Carolina Flag to a student rep resentative of each of the county schools. The flag presentation was part of a $40,000 state appro priation that will furnish state flags to public school systems throughout the state. In his remarks to the gather ing, Basnight stressed the impor tance of the Basic Education Plan that is now being tested through pilot programs including the local school system. He stated that the program does a lot for the individual child in the classroom. "We're saying things for education now that haven't been said in the past," Basnight said. He also spoke in favor of a House Bill for a one-half-cent sales tax increase to be returned to each county for school facility improvements. "We need adequate assembly rooms to hold all of our students at once," he said, adding that these types of facilities promote unity. In presenting the flags to the schools, Basnight gave a brief history of the North Carolina Flag, stating it's importance in the state's heritage. "I'm proud of it (the flag) , and I hope you are too," he said. ?
