redistricting) by legitimate means,
I might try that." Board members
say they fear a flood of transfers
next fall when new attendance
lines take effect and will begin
. Studying a new transfer policy. . .
"I think the public ought to
know that if we're going to the
trouble of racially balancing our
schools that we're also putting into
place a plan to protect that balance
in the future," said board member
Billy King.,
~The board is expected to set a
work session on the transfer policy
once a draft of the rezoning plan is
in place. Meantime, school princi-
pals and staff are mapping resi-
dences of all elementary students
and this data will be fed into com-
puters by Bob Sowell and Ysaac
Inc., a consulting firm hired by the
system to generate a pupil assign-
ment plan taking the elementary
students and putting them in the
schools closest to where they live.
School officials will have the data
ready for the computer experts by
the end of the month.
While 26% of Kings Mountain
elementary school students are mi-
norities, two of the schools-
Bethware and West- have less than
20% minorities. East Elementary
School is nearly 64% black, ac-
cording to the recent figures report-
ed at Monday's meeting. North and
Grover have 26% minorities,
Bethware has 15% and West
School is down from 25% to 19%,
said Dr, McRae.
The consultants’ job is to balance
the schools racially and allow most
children to go to school closest to
home. Once the board gets g draft
of the plan, it will determine what
Campbell called "control within
reason.” McRae said the firm di-
vides the system into sections, us-
ing units of 30 students in 150 plus
nodes and putting the students in
the geographical nodes. The sys-
tem gives the minority student
numbers and the data is fed into the
computers. The board will eventu-
ally have to determine maximum
and minimum percentage of black
and white children in each of the
five elementary schools.
All the board members called
the system "fair and above board"
and said the board would be fair
and open in all its considerations
on redistricting and transfer poli-
cies. "The human factor will be
taken into consideration,"said
Ronnie Hawkins.
Campbell said the board would
have to determine in revising the
transfer policy the question of
hardship cases and what constitutes
a hardship.
