Raleigh, N.C. [CCNS] -
Legislation to require testing
of all public school students
in 1st, third, sixth, and ninth
grades has been opposed in
its present form by the North
Carolina Black Democratic
Leadership Caucus. Also
opposed in its present form
is legislation to make
mandatory the passing of
competency test by all high
"school seniors" before the"
issuance of a high school
diploma. Both pieces of
legislation have been backed
by Governor James Hunt.
Both pieces of legislation
are opposed by the Caucus
because clarification of the
type of testing to be done,
the use of the test results,
and composition of minori^
ties in the structure to
administer the tests. On
March 5, 1977 the Caucus
ucciueu bo uev eiup a (Mitiliuu
paper that would be
presented to the General
Assembly by its Chairperson,
former Mayor of
Raleigh, Clarence Lightner.
<J9
Until the Caucus developed
its position on the
testing it had primarily been
involved in attempts to get
Blacks appointed to Boards
and Commissions as well as
to jobs in the Hunt
Administration. Nearly all of
the groups' members supported
Hunt in the fall
election.
