Harris said the 12 programs are to develop their plans by the spring of 1994 under the guidance of the NC Partnership for Children.

The allo- group of students,” said Lavender. No one was hurt. Canipe was injured a few min- utes after school ended during a confrontation on the lawn outside the school building, said Lavender. Kings Mountain Police were called by school officials Thursday at 2:30 p.m. According to Captain Bob Hayes, a large crowd had gathered and one person had been injured. "The complainant was a 17- year-old white male who said school had just let out and he heard his brother was jumped on and was in the office," said Hayes. "The subject was walking toward the of- fice to check on his brother when a black male approached him and asked him where he thought he was going. Another black male came up and the victim was hit in the face with fists and feet," ac- cording to the report. Hayes said a faculty member broke up the fight and called EMS to transport the injured male to Kings Mountain Hospital for cuts on the right cheek bone. The police report said the sus- pects were a 16-year-old black male and a 18-year-old black male. Police said they advised warrants but neither of the suspects has been charged. : Lavender said both suspects were suspended from school. "We're working very hard at Kings Mountain High School to do everything needed to provide a safe environment for our students and acknowledge the tremendous coop- eration of faculties and the Kings * Mountain Police Department,” said ~ Supt. Dr. Bob McRae. "We sincerely regret the incident J of fighting by students on Thursday and the assault of one student, a situation that we do not condone and will continue to take whatever steps necessary to deal with and leave our options open,” said McRae. "We will do what we have to do to make school safc cven if it means that some students arc denied the privilege of going to school." According to police reports, at 5:15 p.m. Thursday a man called police to report that his 12-year-old son had been assaulted.

I hope and pray other coun- cils wont permit these things to happen.” Councilman Al Morctz said that closing the street won't remedy the problem, that part of the street would have to be left open for ac- cess to the backs of garages. Barricades and ditches would mean added costs which Moretz cstimat- cd would be more than paving. Mrs. Cook asked the board to set a date for fixing the street but Commissioner Jim Guyton remind- ed that other petitions for street re- pairs and assessments were ahead of her. "What will other people say if they hear that we fixed your street first?" he asked. City Manager George Wood asked the board to prioritize streets to be repaved under CDB grant ap- plications and suggested that as- Council orders demolition of house phalt for the Cook request and also for paving of an unpaved: portion of Downing Street be included to get a better price for the materials. The request for paving by Jim Lybrand, held over from last month,” was approved 4-1 if Lybrand and. the city halve the cost which would amount to $1750 for the city. Councilman Finger stipu- lated in his motion that the $1750 be paid to Lybrand after the first house is built on his property. Guyton voted against the motion and Morctz asked 10 be cxcused duc to conflict of interest. Councilwoman Norma Bridges was in thc mayor's chair for about 60 minutes of the nearly two hour meeting. Mayor Scott Neisler said he had experienced delays on his trip home from San Francisco. Councilman Phil Hager said ad- hering to subdivision regulations would prevent similar problems cropping up. - Permanent historical display | approved for City Hall lobby Something new will soon to be added to the lobby of City Hall.
