Title

Board Wants 'Free Choice' - 500 Hear Plan for Schools

Description

"A plan which calls for freedom of choice by students who will be allowed to attend any school they wish in Turner County will be submitted Feb. 28, school officials said.

They said they intend to follow this plan to 'the letter of the law.' If it is approved, allowing students to attend any school they choose if accommodations are available.

The same freedom with be allowed teachers, Chairman [Robert] Davis pointed out.

The Board's action is backed by a petition, presented by Walter Whitehead, which now lists 912 signatures but which apparently has not been well-circulated since many in the audience Monday night had not had an opportunity to sign the petition calling for freedom of choice in school enrollment."
