State funds available to North Carolina orphanages for school mergers
Enterprise Bureau Raleigh July 31. Orphanages meeting board of equalization conditions can join the state system and receive six months’ funding if they merge with local city or county schools. Oxford Masonic Orphanage is the only one to have fully transferred its school to Oxford city schools. Many larger orphanages seek to merge but want to keep control of teachers and religious instruction, and a few may join the state system.
