The Black Parents
Association is working to stop
more implementation of the
magnet school concept in
southeast Raleigh, according
to association chairperson
Brad Thompson.
In an interview (his week,
Thompson said that his
organization has gotten
information from the Dept, of
Health, Education and Welfare
and other agencies and still
finds the concept unacceptable.
I'lip magnet school proposal
being advanced by Wake
Schools Supt. John Murphy,
and tentatively approved by
the Wake County Board of
Education, is "Not ir ne best
interest of (he black
community," he said.
Thompson said the magnet
school is "incidental to the
problems that we have" and
suggested (hat what is needed
is a "more direct type
educational curriculum." He
said several magnet type
schools are already in
operation in southeast Raleigh,
such as the Lucille Hunter and
MaryE Phillips Schools
Magnet schools are schools
with specialized programs
