Caswell County Schools is a PK–12 graded school district serving Caswell County, North Carolina. Its six schools serve 3,012 students as of the 2010–2011 school year.
Student demographics
For the 2010–2011 school year, Caswell County Schools had a total population of 3,012 students and 215.06 teachers on a (FTE) basis. This produced a student-teacher ratio of 14.01:1.[1] That same year, out of the student total, the gender ratio was 53% male to 47% female. The demographic group makeup was: White, 53%; Black, 36%; Hispanic, 7%; American Indian, 0%; and Asian/Pacific Islander, 0% (two or more races: 4%).[2] For the same school year, 66.98% of the students received free and reduced-cost lunches.[3]
Governance
The primary governing body of Caswell County Schools follows a council–manager government format with a seven-member Board of Education appointing a Superintendent to run the day-to-day operations of the system. The school system is part of the North Carolina State Board of Education's Fifth District.[4]
Board of Education
The seven members of the Board of Education generally meet on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. The members are elected by the district to staggered four-year terms. The current members of the board are: Gladys Garland (Chair), District 3; Sylvia Johnson (Vice-Chair), District 2; Mel Battle, At-large; Donna Hudson, District 5; Ross Gwynn, District 4; Tracy Stanley, At-large; and Gordon Satterfield, District 1.[5]
Superintendent
Its superintendents have included Douglas Barker, who retired on June 30, 2013.[6] He became superintendent in 2001 replacing the retiring Skip Rowland. Barker had been a principal and an assistant superintendent in the Henderson County Public Schools.[7]
Integration history
By the end of the 1960s, Caswell County's public schools were beginning to fully integrate. A decade and a half earlier in 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. In later arguments before the Court in 1955 known as Brown II, school districts were given the ambiguous order to desegregate "with all deliberate speed."[8] Like many local school boards in the South, the Caswell County Board of Education interpreted the Court's ambiguity in a manner that served to delay, obstruct, and slow the process of integrating Black and white students.[9]
The Board of Education's resistance to integration was further emboldened by North Carolina's passage of the Pupil Assignment Act in 1955. The legislation gave local school boards full school placement authority. Driven by the act's power, "all deliberate speed", and the prevailing anti-integration sentiment of the white community, the school district continued assigning children to schools in a segregated manner.[10]
In response to these developments, a contingent of 15 African American parents began protesting school placement on the basis of race. They sent petitions to the school district in 1955 that the board then ignored.[11] This prompted a series of legal actions. The NAACP subsequently filed a federal lawsuit in 1956 petitioning for integration to begin at previously all-white schools in Caswell County.[12]
In December 1962, a federal district court ruled that the Board of Education was required to allow every schoolchild complete freedom of choice in school assignments.[13][14]
In spite of this ruling and the fact that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited public school segregation, the school district was not in full compliance with federal integration standards until 1969.[15] In that year, the Board of Education implemented a plan for complete desegregation after U.S. District Court Judge Edwin M. Stanley ordered the school district in August 1968 to integrate starting in the 1969-1970 school year.[13][16][17]
When school integration and consolidation subsequently occurred, Bartlett Yancey High School became the only public high school in the county after Caswell County High School's closure in 1969.[18] The educational use of the old high school building was reconfigured, and the new facility was named the N. L. Dillard Junior High School. Integrated elementary schools were set up on a zone pattern.[19]
