Principal gets reassigned to Bolton School rights had been violated, alleging thai the D.A.'s office telephoned witnesses that he had subpoenaed to appear in court and told them not to show up. Mr. Walden also asked Judge Sharpe for an injunc tion,Torbiadmg the state to prose cute Mr. Honeycutt on similar charges involving students on bus #553. Judge Sharpe denied his requests but did^dmonish the par - ents that, in lieu of Mr. Walden's motions, future charges that they filed against Mr. Honeycutt could detrimentally affect them. Monday marked the first time that the Board of Education was asked to make any decision regarding Mr. Honeycutt. Superin tendent Larry D. Coble had sus pended the principal shortly after the charges were filed. After a week or so on suspension with pay, Dr. Coble appointed Mr. ^-Honeycutt to a central office posi tion. Effective Jan. 1, Mr. Honey cutt will be the principal at Bolton. "I feel if he did it at Mineral Springs he may do it over there," Said Cassandra Westbery, a parent who had filed charges against Mr. Honeycutt. "But I hope he does n't." Speaking on his client's behalf to the board members, Mr. Walden said, "Mr. Honeycutt has been vindicated. He has been cleared and acquitted of all charges. He did not slap anyone. He did not kick anyone: He's been a faithful servant and lover of children for 30 years in this school system." Dr. Coble has said that Mr. Honeycutt is a tenured principal and, therefore, the board had little choice but to reassign him to a like position. Mr. Honeycutt, 55, had been the principal at Mineral Springs for 10 years and has been in the city-county system since 1958. While it is simpler to transfer a tenured individual to another school in a similar position, it is not the only option open to boards of educaiion^/$aid Harry E. Wil son, attorney with the state Department of Instruction. "If the board felt the problems were such that they had to sus-* pend the principal as^principal, he "could claTirTtenure as a teacher and request that he be placed in a teaching position," Mr. Wilson explained. "The principal also would have the alternative of ask ing for a Professional Review Hearing." Eleven people serve on the statewide review committee, and after hearing both sides, the group makes a recommendation to the school board. Career status, or teniae, is .earned after teachers spend three years in their position, Mr. Wilson said. Tenure makes teachers eligi ble for supervisor or assistant pnncipalships. After three addi tional years in one of those posts, career status would be earned, Mr. Wilson added. Parents involved in the law suit have mainlined that if Mr. Honeycutt was an Afro-American, he would have been immediately fired from his post. Such was the case recently in Horry County Schools in Conway. Afro-American Carlos Hunt. quarterback of Conway High School's football team, was shift ed to defensive back and replaced by a white player, Mickey Wilson Jr. - the son of Conway's head basketball coach. Mr. Hunt and several of his black teammates went to talk to middle school teacher H.H. Singleton about what had happened. The Baptist minis ter and president of the Conway NAACP chapter said football coach Chuck Jordan's action "bor dered on racism." ^ The next week. White parents went to sec superintendent John W. Dawscy and demanded that the Rev. Singleton be fired. He was suspended the following day and the superintendent recommended that the Horry County school board fire him. He was fired dur ing a special meeting that week. From Page A1 Conway's NAACP chapter is planning a movement to have the tcacher reinstated. In other business, the board of education appointed Afro-Ameri can James W. Brandon principal of Glenn High School. He will replace retiring Carl L. Clarke at the school which boasts a 43 per cent Afro-American enrollment. Mr. Brandon began his career in the schools in 1969 i\s a traghrr in then Anderson High School. He served as an assistant principal at Hill and West Forsyth Senior high schools. Patricia A. Compton was also reassigned as Vienna Elementary School's principal. She, loo, had been reappointed by Dr. Coble to a central office position because of charges filed by Fount Eugene Chappell that accused Ms. Comp ton of alienating his wife's affec tion for him. The case is pending. The woman who has been the acting principal at the Children's Center for the Physically Handi capped will immediately take over as the permanent principal.

"But I believe, because of my political experience, I could have done well in a county-wide "eampai#H V have been at the top of the Democratic Party. I started out as a precinct secretary, then precinct chair and worked my way through the ranks as secretary of Th^ county party, vice chair and then chair." Establishing an elementary school in predominantly Afro American East Winston, provid ing decent and affordable housing, better health care for the elderly and economic development are items comprising Ms. Parmon's platform. ? ? * ? : \ "Illiteracy is a curable dis ease," she said. "We must do more to lower the drop-out rate and to ensure that all our students gradu ate with the necessary skills that will enable them to become pro ductive citizens of this communi ty. "We must plan new construc ' tion that will reduce the pro hibitive cost and unproductive time spent on busing. The cost savings will enable us to increase the quality of instruction, and the time savings will allow us to extend classroom instruction time." Mr. Booker said his candida cy will be "people-oriented, peo ple-based, people-supported, peo ple-sustained." Education, drug control and jobs are primary areas of importance to him, he said. "As my campaign unfolds I will periodically issue position statements on each of these areas of concern. As I do so, I will con tinue to solicit the opinions of the electorate in order to more finely attune my thinking with theirs."^ Denisc D. Adams will serve as Ms. Parmon's campaign man ager and her treasurer is Marie Roseboro. Attorney Larry D. Lit tle and Evelyn A. Terry were among the notables trom^ttre Afro-American community attending Monday s press confer ence. Ms. Parmon served as Alderman Larry W. Womble's campaign manager during the recent city election campaign, and she was an instrumental member in Mayor Martha S. Wood's camp. "I would hope Mrs. Wood would support my candidacy, bui in the weeks past she's been busy preparing to be mayor of the city and I did not want to infringe upon her," Ms. Parmon said. "1 want her support of me to be based on my merit and not as a political favor." Ms. Parmon is separated and has three daughters, a son and three grandchildren. She is a member and trustee of Exodus United Baptist Church and lives at 3873 Barkwood Drive. She gradu ated from Winston-Salem State University with a degree in Busi^ ness Administration and has an associate degree in business from Forsyth Technical Community College. "I am about to embark on a road that I have led many others down," said the woman who was the local chair of Jesse Jackson's campaign in his 1988 bid for the presidency. "My platform is com posed of issues that will make Forsyth County government a progressive one." Mr. Booker is a member of Mount Zion Baptist Church, on the boards of directors of Leader ship Winston-Salem, YMCA of Greater Winston-Salem, the FT Roger Page Business and Tech nology Center, Reynolds Health Center, Mcchanies and Farmers Bank, CrimeStoppers, the Greater Winston-Salem Chamber of Com merce Foundation and others. A major mission of his as -commissioner win De to increase the involvement of District A resi dents in county government. necd-io get "involved and that will be the thrust of my cam paign," Mr. Booker, 63, said. "I'm running on a philosophy of help ing people. County Commission ers have briefings every Thursday and I understand that during the briefings the commissioners dis cuss issues that they will vote on the following Monday. It's on those Thursdays that we should go and let our concerns be known. Maybe we should also consider the way in which our meetings conflict with those of the city aldermen's." Mr. Booker, who lives at 3631 New Walkcrtown Road, added, "This opportunity for greater services is one I welcome on behalf of all the citizens of Forsyth County. The race is one I look forward to with confidence. The future of Forsyth County is one in which I gladly invest." Mrs. Woodruff and Mrs. -Jones said they arc still polling potential supporters to determine the feasibility of their respective campaigns. Mr. Grace, chair of the East Winston Community Development Corporation, said he would have to consult his board before he made a final decision. He is scheduled to meet next week with the CDC board of directors.
