Full Integration For Davie
County Schools In Sept.
Davie County schools will
be totally integrateed this fall.
The decision to do away
with the Central Davie School
and go strictly to geographic
i zoning for pupil assignment
was made last week by the
Davie County Board of Edu

with officials of the United
States Office of Education.
James E. Everidge, Davie
Superintendent of Schools said
that on May 18th of this year
he received a letter from the
.United States Office of Edu
cation that said that the plan
of desegretion proposed by
Davie County was "not suffi
cient to meet the requirements
of Title 8 of the Civil Rights
Acts of 1084.
On May 18th, Federal of
ficials met with the local board
of education and discussed
the necessary steps to be in
compliance.
"According to the steps laid
down by federal officials, we
had no choice but to go to
the geographical zoning meth
od of assigning pupils ~ which
means that all students of the
same grade and in the same
sone will be assigned to the
same school, regardless of race,
color or national origin or
school previously attended",
said Mr. Everidge.
v The Central Davie School
will be closed and all the
high school students there will
attend the Davie County High
School. This will increase the
enrollment of Davie High to
