Lifewise Academy director defends program

TYNER— A change in state law that guarantees parents the right to request released time from school classes to attend religious instruction has stirred up local and state-wide resistance against the first organization to benefit from it. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS LifeWise Academy offers released time religious instruction (RTRI) to students for one hour per day, four days per week at White Oak Elementary School, which teaches grades K-2. Michelle Lewis, the Executive Director of Chowan County’s LifeWise Academy, said her classes do not operate during core instruction periods, keeping instructional disruption to a minimum. In a statement to the Chowan Herald, Lewis said enrollment is available regardless of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, denomination or religious background, though the program does teach based on a Protestant, Christian, Bible-centered curriculum. She said the program is designed to build character traits of kindness, honesty, compassion, forgiveness, courage and respect. LOCAL OPPOSITIONLocal opposition has coalesced around a loosely organized group that has not adopted a formal name, but has been frequently referred to as “Hands off Our Schools,” a reference to the text of weekly ads run in the Chowan Herald by the group.

School district purchases 15 Automatic External Defibrillators

Edenton Chowan Public Schools has purchased 14 automatic external defibrillators for use in Chowan County’s public schools. The devices are used to shock a victim’s heart back to life during a heart attack. Community contributions covered either part or all of the coat of the individual devices. Funding obtained through the School Based Medicaid Program paid for three of them. The district said the new equipment has been placed throughout the school campuses and athletic facilities in the hope they will improve emergency preparedness during heart attacks, allowing quick access to the devices. ECPS Superintendent Tami Ward said the initiative is intended to benefit students, employees and visitors. Ward thanked both community contributors and the district’s safety committee for their work on the project. “The generosity of our local partners and the proactiveness of our district safety committee reflects unwavering commitment and priority for student, staff and family health and safety,” Ward said. She said 16 community donors made the purchases possible, some of the donations made anonymously. Recognized were ECPS Health Science Academy, Edenton Rentals and Sales, Old Colony Smokehouse, Cajun Outdoors, Carolina Quality Air, Chowan Animal Hospital, Kellogg Supply and Vaughn Jewelry.
