Truck No. 1 of the 16 recently purchased by the county school board will be out in operation Monday and will serve high school students from the Poplar Tent and Cannon-Voile schools
The truck will bring students from the two schools to the Concord high school, arrangements having been made whereby the county pays for their tuition for six months and the parents for three months.
The driver of the truck lives just beyond Cox’s mill and when the Cannon-Voile and Poplar Tent schools are opened, he will take children from his neighborhood to these schools enroute to Concord with the high school students.
Fifteen students completed courses at the two schools this year and have enrolled in the high school here. The truck will leave the home of the driver each morning at 7:30 and is scheduled to reach Concord at 8:30, fifteen minutes before work begins at the high school.
Prof. J. B. Robertson, superintendent of the public schools of the county, who announced the schedule for this truck, stated further that other trucks would be put in operation on the 13th.
These trucks will carry high school students from the Gilwood school to Winecoff and from the Bethpage school to Kannapolis.
High school students from the Coddle Creek school, which embraces Iredell county territory, will attend school at Mooresville and a truck will be put in operation for them.
