a. T. Proffit, superintendent of
Harnett County 4 Schools, said to
day that the allocation of teach
ers for the various oounty schools
has been received from the State
Board of Education.
Harnett will have a net gain of
six teachers over last year, al
though there was a lose of one
teacher in the high school at An
derson Creek, one in the high
school at Buie’s Creek and one in
the Angler Negro School.
Actually, there will be nine new
teaching positions as follows:
three ; to Dunn, on in Lillington,
two In Johnsonville, two in Gen
try School, and one in Bethlehem.
But with three losses sybstracted
from this number the net gain is
six for the county.
Proffit called attention to the
fact that with the reduction of the
teacher load from 32 to 30 in aver
age daily attendance a total of
ten teachers, four elementary and
six high school, were gained last
year. When this is added to the
net of six elementary teachers
gained tlds year, it gives a total
of IS additional teachers over a
two-vear period. > ■;.»
“This very definitely points to
the need for additional construc
tion In .many of our districts.”
Proffit said.
