Principal Early notes progress after addressing weak points, with a new library building, a full time guidance counselor, and a large study hall.

Little Federal Plan would shrink Guilford county representation
The Little Federal Plan would cut the State House from 120 to 100 seats and reshape the Senate to 70 members. Guilford would drop from six House delegates to four and gain perhaps one senator, while Mecklenburg and Forsyth counties face similar losses. Half the state's population could still elect a majority in the Senate, triggering long term political friction.
