Will Enhance Education Proeram
WSSU May Acquire Anderson
The finance committee of the
University of North Carolina Board of
Governors approved 1981-82 budget
allocations that included over $600,000
for Winston-Salem State to buy Ander
son High School from the Winston-
Salem Forsyth County School System.
The proposed purchase of Anderson
High School will permit WSSU to ex
pand its current classroom facilities.
The estimated total cost of purchasing
Anderson has been reported at $1.5
million and renovations at an
estimated $1.9 million.
The acquisition of Anderson will
allow the university to expand teacher
education programs which are in
jeopardy at WSSU. “The education
program may not be able to maintain
accreditation unless additional
facilities are acquired,” voiced several
university officials.
William F. Sheppard, Acting Ex
ecutive Director of Development at
WSSU, and city-county school board
member, noted that getting funds for
the purchase of Anderson has been
both complicated and tedious because
of the variables surrounding the actual
purchase. He noted that certain factors
such as the actual date of sale, and
plans to reorganize the Winston-Salem
Forsyth County Schools will delay
WSSU’s proposed plan to buy and
renovate Anderson.
Dr. Melvin Gadson, Director of
Division of Education, in a written
statement, commented on the impact
of the acquisition of Anderson to the
teacher education program.
“The acquisition of Anderson
High School, which is scheduled
to become the major facility for
the School of Education at Winston-
Salem State University, will signifi
cantly enhance the Teacher
Education Program. The present
facility, Coltrane Hall, is absolutely
too small and inadequately equipped
to get the best out of our faculty
members and students who work
and matriculate here. While all
of our programs are State and
nationally approved, this enlarged
facility will enable us to continue
to improve the offerings in these
areas as well as provide for a
more comprehensive curricula,
especially as we look forward to
m
A Festive Event
a localized Enrichment Center, a
localized Curriculum Materials
Center, laboratories for teaching
methods courses in science and
mathematics in addition to other
basic facilities that are germane
to curricula offerings by modern
universities.
The statement further said that,
Anderson High School will provide
the necessary space for modern
educational experimental labora
tories for conducting high-risk
research, observation classrooms,
graduate programs.”
