Hughes to head school board for fifth term despite dissent
Percy M. Hughes is expected to win a fifth term as president of the Board of Education at today’s 4 PM election by seven commissioners. The lone vote against him likely will come from Mrs. Bernard Dawson amid ongoing friction over board policy and school sports stadium funding. The board will also address charges against Ruth Patterson, Edward Smith School sixth grade instructor, a recurring case involving required examinations and reinstatement after legal battles dating to 1946.
