that the closeness of any poli

Mr Campbell's case, would

the fences ’ rather than further
divisertess.

Southeast Raleigh is a
step closer to a new
elementary school as a
result of a Tuesday night
meeting of Wake County
School Board’s Facilities
Committee.
Meeting for about IS minutes
and without any controversy,
the committee of four school
officials approved a motion for
the school and a new stadium
for Broughton High School.
Neither drew any opposition.
At the beginiung of the
inect^og, Board Chairman A
Koy Tilley. formerly a chief op^
punem of the school, asked d
the committee wts dealing
with a question of , school
somewhere in southeast
Raleigh, or specifically on
Cross Link Road.
Vernon Malone, former
board chairman and now tht
only black member of the
board, said that he and the
black community were not
bound to the 17-acre Cross Link
Road site. Rather, he said he
wanted to lee a school on a
“suitable site in that neighbor
hood tsoutheast Ralei^i) that
we can readily identify with."
Committee member Dick
Moore made the first motion
for building the school. But
after a brief discussion as to
how the motion should be
worded. Moore asked Malone
to make the motion and
pledged his second.
Malone’s motion was that
“The Board of Education
include in Us package to the
Board of County Commission
ers sufficient amounts of
money to build an elementary
school in southeast Raleigh.
