Electing School Boards Sparks Debate On 1975 Change
The Enterprise recalls the shift from appointive to elected School Board membership in 1975 and questions whether the move delivered better decisions. It notes incumbents’ dominance in 1975, the current race’s lack of clear issues, and concerns about a potential racial dynamic and manipulation in the ballot. The piece cautions that accountability under council appointments differed and urges voters to consider the candidates’ biographies and past service.

A Compelling Call To Support United Way Campaign
The appeal urges High Point residents to fund the United Way and support agencies like YWCA, Boy Scouts, alcoholics and mental health programs, Salvation Army, Red Cross blood efforts, and Voluntary Action Center. The campaign is $118,000 short of its maintenance goal, with potential long lasting service cuts if not met. The piece frames giving as civic duty and community responsibility rather than individual need.
