Way Open For Central School The State Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Yancey County Board of Education yesterday in handing down a decision in the central high school dispute. The restrain ing order, signed by Judge Will Pless several months ago, wag reversed by the Supreme Court, opening the way for the construction of a consolL dated school in this county. Upon completion of the con solidated school building, on ly the three top grades—tenth, eleventh, and twelfth—will be brought in from the other high schools, according to school officials. This will leave all pupils below tenth grade at present schools. Bee Log students will not be brought to the consolidated school until adequate road for schol bus transportation has been completed, according to school officials. Plans have been completed and blue prints made of a school plant containing 18 classrooms. The State Board of Education has approved the plans and the sight for the new school building, and the State has $157,976 to be used to construct the building. No county funds may be used for the construction of she build ing and a State Law forbids accepting a contract for an amount greater than that which has been given by the State. The court fight grew out of a restraining order instigated by several citizens of the county, prohibiting the Board of Education from accepting and opening bids from con tractors, for the school’s con struction. This action was taken after plans for the new school had been made and ap proved by the State Board of Education and the State School Planning Board. Attorneys for the Board of Education appealed the decis ion of Judge Pless and the dispute was, therefore, carried to the Supreme Court' for a decision. The State Planning Board and the State Board of Educa tion, following surveys of schools “in this county, con cluded that a consolidated high school would relieve the pressure of congestion in the schools here. They pointed out > in reports that with the high [ er grades moved to a central Part of the Crucifixion Score and all of the Resurrec tion l > ore from “The Messiah” will be given. The Tipton Hill Clarinet Quartet will play thfc overture, “I Know My Redeem er Liveth”. Solo parts of “The Messiah” will be sung by j RED CROSS NUMBER THIRTY-TWO school, one and two-teacher schools in the outer communi ties could be brought to dis trict high schools without too much over-crowding. A total of the county en rollment from the tenth grade through the twelfth is 523 pupils. A breakdown of the number of those grades in each high school shows that Burnsville has 140, Bald Creek, 107; Bee Log, 58; Clearmont, 78; and Micaville, 149. With eighteen rooms, this would be approximately 29 students per rqpm, which, ac cording to teachers and offi cials, would be a far smaller number than are now crowd ed into the average room of Yancey County schools. Although the structural steel has been purchased and a sight has been approved by the State Board of Education and Planning Board, no plans have been released as to the starting of the actual con struction of the central high school building.
