F.dwards, lhat the Opportunity Cor poration planned to revise the Head Start Program and operate the program through The Opportunity Corporation of M.adison Buncombe Counties The new plan projected an eight-month program having one center instead of the original eight, three teachers instead of 10 teachers with two of the three to be "traveling teachers" going into Ihe homes of the children. The Madiosn CountyBoard of Education went on record as opposing this new plan of eight months which would serve only 50 children with the age range being three through five years of age compared with the summer program which served 180 children in the eight school centers. The Madison County Board of Commissioners also opposed the eight-month-50 children concet. Mr. R I. Edwards, Zeno Ponder, and Mrs Rebecca Stradley were appointed by the Rev. Robert Boggan. Chair man, Board of Directors ot the Opportnity Corporation of Madison Buncombe Counties, to conduct community meetings in the eight schools of Madison County during the month of November, 1971, for the purpose of gathering information form parents as to which type of program was desired for Madison County.

North Carolina cattlemen are required by law to vote on ..4 l parents attending the meetings, only one parent voted in op position to the summer Head Start Irogram with 180 children participating With this survey (lata from the community meetings, Kdwards appealed to The Opportunity Corporation and its Board of Directors for a con tinuation of the summer Head Start Program designed for 180 eligible children Theis appeal was rejected by the Board of Directors of The Opportunity Corporation and the board then submitted and approved the eight -month-50 children plan. The Madison County Board of FCducation and the Madison County Board of Com missioners opposed the eight-month-50 chiuldren plan last November and they are still on record as opposing this "new" plan. The thinking of both boards is that more needy, eligible children could be better served through the summer Head Start-180 chddren plan. Furthermore, that too many children that could qualify for the summer Head Start Program and also the eight-month-50 children plan are being left out as participants in any type of a Head Start Program in Madison County R I.
