At last Monday’s' session, the ; Board received for consideration the report of a special committee of the State Board of Education brought to the county to study the district iinups and make rc commendations; -j- ^ . Previously, it has considered a report of the Special County Fact Finding committee, submitted a year ago, which recommended two high school districts for the county but urged that nothing be done to change the Aycock school for two or three years to see if at tendance would. Increase suffici ently to warrant its continuance as a full-pledged senior high school: This committee based its recommendations upon the belief that under current policies of the State a high school at Aycock could not be justified much long er unless enrollment increases con siderably. ,.. ...... ■ . v._ The tentative new district boundaries decided . upon by" the Board of Ed ueatiuiTrwtn be an nounced within the next two weeks, when maps showing the and early next moith a public hearing will be held on the subject by the Board during which both opponents and adherents pi the changes may state their bases. The special committee from the State Board of Education in their report recommended that “lines : established for the Caldwell School j District by the Orange County 'Board of Education on February j 12, 1941 should be continued,” but hastened to point out thait their recommendation should not be in terpreted as “an endorsement of the Aycock High School.” It 1 further recommend JUtgt the high school pupils in the Efland Ele mentary District should attend the Hillsboro High School.
