"Hiey will follow with "The Halleluhah Chorus." Drug (Continued from page 1) Pierce contended that the three had not been on school property and Huffman had seen them after school hours and that the boys hadn't been smoking marijuana but regular cigarettes. He said expulsion denied the boys education for the rest of the year, set them behind and left them with the stigma of expulsion, a penalty he indicated was too harsh for the offense. Edwards, however, pointed out that they could continue their education in the Extended Day program (which is held at Hoke County High School), for students who cannot attend regular classes because of expulsion, holding a daytime job or other reason. The girl informed the board she was attending Extended Day classes, which Edwards said are held for students under age 14 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Students age 14 and older are allowed to attend between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. After the board made its deci sion. board chairman Bill Cameron advised the attorney that the boys still could apply to attend the Extended Day classes for the rest of the school year. The application must be made to Edwards. It was indicated earlier that such applica tions would be approved. The board had been informed during the hearing that the parents or guardians of the boys had not applied though such information had been provided. In an earlier case, the board upheld the authority of the county school superintendent's designated representative to fire a bus driver. The case involved was the firing of a student from his South Hoke school bus driving job because his vehicle ran off the road. At the time the reason given for his dismissal was that, though he was not charged with a traffic violation by the investigating State Highway Patrol trooper, he had not followed prescribed procedures. Allen at the end of the presenta tion of the witnesses informed the board that 13 students had been expelled from Upchurch since the start of this school year, and of these 1 1 had been expelled for drug violations. He said he has told the students that he will not tolerate drugs or dangerous weapons at school. Replying to the attorney's ques tion, board member Mina Town send said the students are informed of the drug policy at the start of the school year, and this constitutes a warning of the penalties for viola tion. The traffic case hearing was held in an executive session starting about five minutes after the board's monthly session started at 7 p.m. At about 8:35 p.m., the board reopened the meeting and adopted the motion upholding the policy, then called for the hearing of the Upchurch youth's case. The hear ing was held open on request of the youth's mother. After the witnesses and statements by the two Up church administrators and the youth's attorney were heard, the board went into executive session at about 10:40 p.m.. reopened it at 11:52 p.m. and adopted the mo tion. made by Mrs. Townsend. just before midnight. t Hajari** NATURALS-D.J.
