I Assistant
BY SUSAN USHER
Brunswick County Schools gained
an assistant superintendent of curriculum
and lost a principal in
I separate actions of the Brunswick
I County Board of Education Monday
night.
The personnel actions came after
the school board spent 3*2 hours of its
five-hour meeting behind closed
doors.
TTiiiimii v,. narrison, principal of
Terry Sanford Senior High School in
Kayetteville. was hired on a split vote
as assistant superintendent, and will
report July 18. Marvin McKeithan
cast the single opposing vote.
On a unanimous vote, the board
reassigned Leland Middle School
Principal Carlton Sligh to the Alternative
School in Bolivia where he will
serve as attendance counselor.
The board's first executive session
was called early in the meeting to
discuss personnel matters at the request
of Anne Irwin of Tarheeland
Acres, a chemistry teacher at West
Brunswick High School, and her attorney,
and I,orraine Williams, director
of the school systems' exceptional
children's program.
After a second, two-hour closeddoor
session near the close of the
meeting, the board took no action on
the undisclosed request from
Williams, but did direct attorney
Glen Peterson to execute "an agreement"
with Ms. Irwin. Board
member Doug Baxley, a neighbor of
Irwin's, was allowed to abstain from
the vote, with no reason given.
Evaluation Skills
In addition to his post at Terry Sanford,
Harrison also is an adjunct professor
in the graduate program at
Fayctteville State University. He has
a doctorate in educational administration
from Vanderbilt
University in Nashville. Tenn. and
has been associated with Fayetteville
area schools since his graduation
in 1974 from Methodist College.
"What attracted us to him was his
doctoral work in principal evaluation,"
said Superintendent John
Kaufhold. "That is an area we want
to improve on. He also shows
strength in curriculum
development."
No Salary Cut
In transferring Sligh (who has
tenure i from his administrative post
in I .eland, the board of education by
law could not out his salary of $17,472,
Kaufhold said. New funds received
for the system's drop-out prevention
program will help support the salary.
"In a sense," Kaufhold continued,
"it's good to have an additional exnPrinnitpfl
ailminielratnp at tho Altor
native School, someone with a
counseling background."
Sligh joined the county system in
1978-79 as principal of Bolivia
Elementary School.
Sligh will continue as principal of
the Iceland school until his successor
is named, possibly as soon as Thursday,
July 7. when the board continues
meeting at 6:30 p.m. in Southport.
Policies Discussed
Subject to minor revision, board
members approved on first reading a
policy that restricts use of the school
board's attorney "strictly" to board
members, the superintendent and his
designee. Use of the attorney by
employees for non-school matters or
without prior consent of the

superintendent is prohibited. When
Chairman James Forstner asked if
the policy would cover issues that
later become of concern to the board,
attorney Glen Peterson said he would
like additional wording to address
that.
The board took no action on an updated
school advisory council policy,
suggesting instead several revisions
for review at their next meeting. Proposed
revisions provide for:
Recommendation of council
members to go to the board in the
fall, soon after the start of the new
scnooi year, rattier than tying them
to the seating of new board members
in December ;
Replacement of members who do
not attend meetings, as urged by
board member McKeithan; and
Having the responsibility to be informed
of the school's financial
status. "It s hard to go out and raise
money when you don't know how
much you have and can't defend it."
said member James Clemmons.
Elimination of two duties: reporting
on complaints and inspecting
school property.
Meeting at least quarterly, and
submitting minutes to the board
within a month of each meeting, as
suggested by Clemmons.
Said Chairman Forstner, who
recommended the two changes in
responsibilities, "These folks are to
help us get along with the community,
not to catch bad folks."
Member Dot Worth's only question
regarded the timing of appointments.
"Does it relate to the eWtinnc*>" chn
asked Superintendent Kaufhold. 'It
does not," he replied.
PA System Approved
Responding to public criticism of
the performance of the schools'
public address systems at high
school commencement exercises, on
Kaufhold's recommendation the
board approved spending $1,700 on
the purchase of a heavy-duty, waterproof
system for use by all schools.
Said Kaufhold, "I was as embarrassed
as anyone else, and I'm not in
the habit of giving speeches no one
can hear."
Other Business
In other business, the board:
Adopted an interim budget to use
until it receives a final local budget
from county commissioners.
Approved routine personnel
iiems.
Approved several line item revisions
and a $750 increase in state
funds, and authorized the sunerinten
dent and finance officer to approve
other minor budget amendments
through the end of the fiscal year on
June 30, subject to the board's later
endorsement.
Acknowledged they had previously
authorized staff to award a contract
for reroofing work at Union
Primary School to the low bidder,
which was T.R. Driscoll Sheet Metal
Works, at $51,500.
Learned from Assistant to the
Superintendent Bill Turner that work
has begun at Lincoln Primary School
on the gym floor and walkways, and
that bids have been received for landscaping
at Union and Lincoln
primary schools.
