Assembly Rejects Scott Appointees In Education Board
Raleigh April 13 A unanimous disapproval by the legislature of Governor Scott’s two picks for the state board of education left the appointments of Dr Roma Sawyer Cheek of Durham and Margary Henry Alexander of Charlotte unresolved for eight year terms. The move marks the first time since 1942 that no woman joined the consolidated board, despite past gubernatorial nominations. The session offered little time for scrutiny and drew criticism for secrecy and lack of investigation.
