Newburgh School Board loses liberal, eyes black
Newburgh board member Campbell K Thompson quit after citing decreased satisfaction. He urged LeRoy Wilson Jr to replace him, highlighting minority representation on the board as 28 percent of students are white. Wilson, an IBM attorney and TLC board member, would join amid debate over race and civil service questions. The board also approved several teaching appointments and debated Emergency Employment Act hires and a race disclosure dispute.
