6A NEWS/dSe CJarlotte Jpoat Thursday, March 1,2007 Details of banishment probe yet to be released Continued from page 1A say misrepresented enroll ment artificially enhanced the school’s test scores by lowering the number of aca demically at-risk students. Bill Anderson, who was Myers Park's principal at the time, denies any miscon duct. He is now director of Communities In Schools, a program that keeps at-risk students in school. The N.C. State Board of Education defines a dropout as "any student who leaves school for any reason before graduation or com pletion of a program of studies, without transfer ring to another...secondary school.” According to 2004-2005 Myers Park' dropout records, Turner was listed as an in-state transfer. He has yet to re-enroll. Anonymous sources from Myers Park High allege school administrators mis coded students after con vincing or coercing them to drop out, making it look as if the students either trans ferred or moved out of the district altogether in order to spare the school a higher dropout rate. According to campus sources, Myers Park administrators call the prac tice "the school of far, far away." Though not awar.e of coer cion and force-outs in the county, i at the time j Green said at j no time I should a stu- I dent be given up on, and that it was a Dunlap "significant problem." Significant enough that a study was made into the allegations at Myers Park. District 3 School Board Member George Dunlap said he first became aware of the allegations after read ing the August article. He sent an e-mail asking CMS staff to look into the situa tion. "One of the problems I have had with, and have mentioned to... Gorman, is the responsiveness, or lack of, from his administrative staff,” said Dunlap, who chairs CMS’s Audit Committee. "What’s interesting is that in January, 1 looked back at my sent files of complaints I e-mailed and hadn’t gotten a response on...and re-sent them all." he said. Untold history: Black slave owner r By Colby Sledge THE TENNESSEAN NASHVILLE, Term. - Like many wealthy landowners of the pre-Civil War South, Sherrod Bryant owned slaves. They probably worked much of Bryant’s 700 acres in Middle Tennessee, an area larger than that of Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage plantation. The slaves under Bryant helped raise hogs for their owner, who had a large family and was always looking to buy more property. Unlike many slave owners, however, Sherrod Bryant was black. Today, the notion of a black man owning • black slaves seems contradictory - Bryant himself was a free black - and perhaps even hypocritical. According to Bryant’s descen dants, however, their ancestor, who was never a slave, was simply following the nor mal pattern of life for a rich landowner in the Upper South. "I think at some point some of the mem bers (of the family) might not have looked upon it very favorably, but the more we dis cuss it, the more we suddenly realize that to gain wealth during that time, if you had a lot of property, you had to have slaves to help you cultivate it,” said Carl Bryant, a fourth- generation descendant of Sherrod.
