Schools Must 'Aim Higher' Associated Press RALEIGH - Gov. Jim Hunt chal lenged legislators Monday night to make North Carolina’s public schools the best in the nation by the end of the next decade. “Let’s aim higher than we have ever dreamed of,” Hunt said in prepared rema ks for a joint session of the state Hous and Senate. “I believe that if we can lead the nation in education progress, we can lead the nation in education - period,” he said. Hunt said he would issue an execu tive order asking the Education Cabinet, which he chairs, to develop a set of goals to make the state’s schools the best in the nation by 2010.

SOURCE: ASSOCIATED PRESS The president’s team had planned not to ask questions if the lawyers felt the prosecutors had broken no new ground, said several Democratic sources familiar with the preparations. Away from the session, presidential lawyers were more aggressive, filing a new complaint with a federal judge against Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr in connection with a weekend “And never before have we needed a statewide effort of this scope. Our future is at stake.” Hunt said he wants the next two years, his last in office, to be a begin ning, not an end. “I may not be running for anything, but I haven’t run out of ambition for North Carolina,” he said. “I’m not interested in building a lega cy. I’m interested in building our future.” Hunt said he wants four things from the N.C. General Assembly this year: increased funding for the Smart Start program, the third installment of a four year plan to raise teacher salaries to meet the national average, make schools safer for students and end social pro motions. “Some of you may say this is the same old stuff I’ve been saying for six years,” Hunt said. “You’re right, and let me tell you, the same old stuff is the right stuff. It’s time we stick to what works.” Hunt provided no specifics for pay ing for his proposals, but said there would definitely be enough money this year. The budget he will present next week, Hunt said, will include S2OO mil lion in spending reductions for the 1999- story in The New York Times that reported Starr had concluded a grand jury could indict Clinton before he left office. David Kendall, a private lawyer rep resenting Clinton, said he was asking a federal court to require Starr to show why he and his staff “should not be held in contempt for improper violations of grand jury secrecy.” ' .
