School board to honor Burnett
From our education reporter Jen Fernandez:
The Guilford County Board of Education will honor member Garry Burnett at its meeting Thursday. Burnett, who was completing a four-year term on the board, died Friday of a heart attack.
The board also has changed the time of its meeting, moving it from 6:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. And the end of the agenda now includes time to discuss the vacancy created by Burnett's death. His term ends this November; Burnett was not running for re-election.
Although the meeting will start earlier, the public will still be able to address the board at the usual time, about 6:45 p.m. The public comment period usually comes at the beginning of the meeting.
This meeting will be at the board's High Point offices, 900 English Road. To check out the agenda, click on Sept. 23 at www.guilford.k12.nc.us/boe/agenda.htm
