Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Stokes works toward building new school

DANBURY (Winston-Salem Journal) - Now that the Stokes County Board of Education has a site for a new elementary school, board members are working to make sure they are ready to build as soon as county commissioners provide money for the school.

Until a specific site was chosen, school officials could go only so far with plans. At its regular meeting on Monday, the Stokes County Board of Commissioners voted to provide $1.3 million to buy 62 acres on N.C. 66 south of Mountain View Road.

With the site set, school-board members began yesterday the process of looking at possible plans for the school and deciding where on the site to build it. There is enough land to build a middle school there sometime in the future, so the placement of the elementary school needs to be done with that in mind.
