Abstract:

As Durham County commissioners prepare to decide on a school merger plan to submit to the State Board of Education, debate remains from the two opposing sides. Durham County commissioners Deborah Giles and Ellen Reckhow are interviewed and explain their positions. Giles is in favor of a plan that guarantees minority representation on the school board while Reckhow is in favor of board members being elected through “at-large” elections.
