Board Governs Ciiy Schools Hopewell’s School Board has been the governing body of the city’s entire school system. Members, appointed by the City Council for four years, had the job of acting on recommendations made by the superintendent of schools, Charles W. Smith. Legislation included the hiring of personnel, budgets, building programs, and educational materials. In 1973, a new eighteen room addition was proposed for Carter G. Woodson School. After many years of planning, the process of moving the ninth grade back to Mallonee and the seventh grade back to Woodson was initiated. The biggest task of the 72-73 School Board, however, was hiring a new superintendent to resume Mr. Smith ' s position.
