High Point Board backs federal education programs
The High Point school board, after a briefing by Superintendent Dr. Dean R B Pruette, agreed to participate in Project Head Start and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. About one in ten school age children in High Point live in poverty, and officials said federal aid would address nutrition, counseling, medical services, and student-teacher ratios while supporting education. The decision marks a shift from longstanding opposition to federal involvement, tempered by calls for careful review of program necessity and value. The board emphasized collaboration with state and federal entities to strengthen schools and meet children’s needs.
