Uisiussion Monday night cen
tered around the likelihood of
1'arrbpro‘s getting a new school
L’.iding, the present condition of '
the school, and the question of
who is the constituted authority .
to operate Carrboro School.
...K, X Bearn, one of the strongest,
proponents of remaining in the
county . system, pointed' out that
the Community is more likely to
net a now building earlier through
the county set up than with Chap
el Hill, inasmuch as Chapel Hill
has already cited, .’needs totalling
over jSl.OOU.OOO, and called for a
clarification of--the condemnation
report which has appeared in a
daily newspaper.
Chairman C. W. Stanford of the
county board told the group the
new Carrboro School is No: 1 on
the priority list for new construc
tion in the county, that $65,000
has been in reserve for this pur
pose and the remainder is expect
ed from the next allocation from
the half bf the State $50 million
dollar bond issue passed in 1953,
and county capital outlay next
year.
Both School Board Members
Harry Breeze and C. D. Jones em
phasized that the position of the.
; Board of Education is one of com
plete neutrality and that the mat
ter should ,be decided by vote of
■tBcaiwr^
nied that the' school had been con
j denined and cited an inspection
and survey report of Sept. 13, 1955
prepared by F. J. Calverley, engi- i
neer with the Division of Insur
; ance qf the State oBard of Edu
; cation, which ■ approved the school t
and noted no hazards at the time.
In - reply to questions from the1
floor and committeemen Carr said i
authority for school operation is j
/vested.by law in the County Board *
of Education with certain func
tions delegated under the law to 1
