Hunt at Pembroke - Elementary SchiWl. by Bruce Barton Editor's note; This b the second port of a continuing series on Indian education in Robeson County and elsewhere. Lost week we gove Q little background on the notional level, detoiling how the progrom began end whot the program was designed to do. This week we'll look a little bit Qt the Robeson County Administrative School Unit, the second largest Indian Education Progrom in America, second only to a school unit in Gallup, New Mexico. INDIAN EDUCATION IS BIG BUSINESS IN ROBESON Indian Education officially came to the Robeson County Administrative School Unit in the school year, 1973, 1974. That first year, the school unit received $463,059.44 with a headcount of7,537 students. 25 schools took part in the program with each school establishing its own priorities, subject only to a 40 member parent committee. Each school essentially runs an autonomous program in Indian Education. Assistant Superintendent Albert Hunt is officially in charge of the program in his role as superintendent in charge of federal prograrn. The Indian Education Coordinator is Governor Barnes, a former school principal in the county school unit. Carolyn Oxendine is the bookkeeper. The personnel listed above basically administer the program in its entirety. They are responsible for the day to day operation and supervision of the program county wide. Red Springs Commissioner, Bobby Dean Locklear, is the chairman of the 40 member parent's committee. The amount allotted to each school in its first year of operation ran,,from a high of $59,349.26 at Prospect School to a low of $3,071.91 at Proctorville. The monies are alloted to .schools based on the number of Indian students enrolled. In the first year (1973-1974 school year) Prospect had 966 Indian students enrolled for the high to Proctorville’s low Indian enrollment of 50 Indian students. The first discerning thing one notices is that Indian Education is big business.
