Stanford was elected chairman of the Or ange County School Board Mon day for the next biennium, suc ceeding Kemp S. Cate. Stanford’s election came on the nomination of Cate and with the support cf New. Member Harry P. Breeze sitting in his first meet after qualifying and taking the oa n ci office tor a new six year term. * , Organizing as a new board, the meeting was opened with Stan ford’s^ nomination of Cate to suc ceed .himseif as chairman. Cate then nominated Stanford and Breeze, noting that Stanford was the senior member of the, board in point of service, threw his sup port to Stanford. The board then proceeded to handle a variety of routine bus iness, including a revival of the Ayiccck district boundary issue, which has plagued the board for many months. A request from the principal and committeemen of Aycock school for the attendance of some 16 elementary and 10 high school students, now attend ing Hillsboro. Caldwell and Hurdle Mills Schools to be counted in the allocation of teachers for Ay cock was presented, as were let ters from the principals and com mitteemen of Hillsboro and Cald well protesting such transfer. It was contended that Aycock would lose a teacher if not given credit for the children now at tending elsewhere, but considered by Aycock to be in their district although they have never attended school there. Should Aycock get the students, Caldwell stood to lose one it now has and Hillsboro one it expects to get as result of this year’s attendance record. C. D. Jones of the Hillsboro com mittee, appearing before the board, contended that, the teachers should be placed where the children are as a logical conclusion and it was shown that teacher loads of Ay cock and Hillsboro would be ap i proximately the same even if Aycock lost the teacher and Hills boro gained. _„Ai'tef; prolonged discussion, the board on motion of ibreeze voted to.request the State Board of Edu cation to grant credit to Aycock Elementary School for this attend ance provided it can be done legally aruT without causing either Hillsboro or' Caldwell Schools to lose a teacher.
