School Forces Pleased With Governor Hoey on Schools
Raleigh dispatch reports school advocates celebrate Governor Hoey s inaugural stance for higher salaries and unified control, while reacting to Senate House education committee recommendations and a $24.4 to $25.0 million annual appropriation. They seek abolition of the State School Commission though Hoey favors keeping its offices with oversight and calls for a restructured leadership under the State Superintendent. The drive aims to place the superintendent as commission chair and expand board membership to union control the education budget of about $24 to $25 million yearly.
