2 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19,2015 POLICY Continued from 1 County High School, they would have been prohibited from practicing for 10 days and playing for 20 days. Had they attended schools in Chowan, Pasquotank or Currituck, there would have been no formal pun ishment. The new Perquimans pol icy follows that of the NCH- SAA. It says athletes must be suspended if arrested of a felony, but it provides no punishment if it’s a misde meanor. Superintendent Dwayne Stallings said the new pol icy gives school officials some leeway. Students will still have to pass three of the four academic blocks in order to be academically eligible. But removing the 2.0 GPA requirement doesn’t mean the school system will be more lax in tracking stu dent achievement, he said. If anything, Stallings said re moving the 2.0 requirement will make put “more eyes” looking at how students are doing in school. “The athletic department at the high school felt they needed to look at each case individually,” Stallings said. “Before it was black and white.” The one strike you’re out policy on brushes with the law might also be consid ered too extreme. “It had no beginning or no ending,” Stallings said. “If it happened in ninth grade and they were model stu dents after that, it wouldn’t matter.” The new policy was brought up at a Perquimans County School Board meet ing in July, but the board was not asked to approve it. That is because it’s a school policy, not a county policy, said Susan Cox, the chair of the school board. Rick Strunk, a spokes man for the NCHSAA, said it’s difficult to say just how many school systems cre ate policies that are tougher than the state organization. School systems can make rules that more restrictive but they can’t make any that are less restrictive. ‘'We’ve got 115 school systems,” Strunk said. Justin Roberson is enter ing his 10th year as a coach and was named PCHS ath letic director this summer. He agrees with the policy changes. “The state governing body, gets paid to look at these things,” he said of the policy on athletes. “From an athletic side of things, this is a big step. When you to go the fourth round of the state playoffs, you want to know the kids are governed by the samp rules. I think they made the right decision.” Chamber hands out Gif bags SUBMITTED PHOTO Perquimans County Schools community relations official Teresa Beardsley accepts a gift basket from Sid Eley, director of the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce this month. The chamber assembled the baskets for new teachers coming into the school system. WRECK Continued from 1 The Dodge was being driven by Brandon Michael Mizell, 24, of Archibald Road, Washington, NC. “As he comes across the bridge, he (Mizell) floors it,” Tilley said. He estimates Mizell was going 90 miles per hour. Deputy Reid went to do a U-turn and misjudged the speed of Murray’s vehicle and Murray was forced to run off the road to avoid hit- ting Reid. Meanwhile Tilley and Investigator Shelby White were waiting near the in tersection of Harvey Point Road and U.S. 17 where U.S. 17 traffic was stopped because of the light. “When we stopped him we said we were detaining him for Elizabeth City po lice about a stolen items. When I looked in the back there were two large boxes that still had security things around them.” Tilley said Mizelle admit ted he didn’t have sales re ceipts for the items. Mizelle was turned over to the Eliz abeth City police. No charges are being filed against the deputies, Tilley said. “It was an error in judg ment, but mistakes hap pen,” Tilley said. “Our offi cers are doing the best they can, but sometimes things happen. Thank God nobody got hurt.” Murray’s patrol car is an other matter. “The car is probably to taled,” the sheriff said. That creates an issue. This year the sheriff asked for two vehicles to replace two vehicles that had ex ceeded their useful mileage and another that had been damaged in an accident in February. Two deputies were driving down Harvey Point Road responding to an animal control call when a driver coming north on Har vey Point Road lost control and crashed into sheriff’s vehicle. No money was budgeted to replace that vehicle. “The long and the short of it is we still have to have another car at some point,” Tilley said.
