The act also provided an annual levy of seventy-five dollars per pupil to be paid by the student's county of residence.  These funds were to be used to hire teachers for a  state school, or to place pupils in the existing institutions of other  states.  In 1845 a school was begun in Raleigh to educate deaf pupils.   In 1847 the General Assembly appropriated funds to build a facility for the school in or near Raleigh, and construction began on a site in  Caswell Square.  In 1849 the institution was placed under the control of its own board, the President and Directors of the North Carolina Institute for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb, instead of the Literary Board.  The seven members of the new board were appointed by the General Assembly, and any vacancies on the board were to be filled by the board, subject to the approval of the General Assembly.  The board was directed to elect two  of its members to be the president and the principal of the institution,  to hire faculty and staff, to supervise the construction and maintenance  of the facility, and to report to the General Assembly during each  session.  Another act of 1849 revised the county levy by stating that counties  with an indigent, white, deaf-mute over eight and under twenty years of age, not physically or mentally imbecile, must raise seventy-five dollars   per pupil (up to five pupils per county) for their support for four years   at the state institution in Raleigh.  In 1851 the statute was amended to state that the governor would  appoint board members, subject to approval by the General Assembly, and  also that paying pupils could be accepted as well as indigent pupils.  In 1851, the institution began accepting blind students.  In 1852 the county levy for pupils was extended from four to seven years of support in the institution, and the name of the school was changed to the NC Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and of the Blind.  In 1855 the corporate title was changed to the NC Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and Blind.  In 1869 the nation's first school for blind or deaf black children began as a separate department of the institution,  and in 1873 the General Assembly appropriated funds for buildings to accommodate the black students.  Established as the Institution for the Colored Deaf and Dumb and Blind, this department was located in Raleigh  on South Bloodworth Street.  In 1881 the General Assembly reaffirmed the corporate status of the institution and stated that the seven-member board of trustees was to be appointed by the governor for six-year terms after staggered first terms. The trustees were to elect an institutional principal and other officers every three years, and the state treasurer would be the institution's treasurer, ex officio.  White and black deaf-mutes and blind children between the ages of eight and twenty-one were to be accepted.  The board   was increased to eleven members in 1889.    In 1894 a separate institution for white deaf children opened in  Morganton, and the deaf children from the Caswell Square campus were transferred to that school.  The General Statutes were revised in 1905 and the name of the institution was changed to the State School for the Blind and Deaf.  In 1908 the General Assembly enacted a compulsory education law for blind children.  Blind children between seven and seventeen were required to attend the state institution or a similar   school for eight, nine-month sessions.  A similar law had been passed in  1907 requiring white deaf children between eight and fifteen to attend a   school for the deaf for five, nine-month sessions.  In 1913 the General Assembly appropriated funds to purchase a new campus site on Ashe Avenue to replace the Caswell Square facility.  The Ashe Avenue campus opened in 1927.  In 1917 the board was authorized to  hire a superintendent to manage both departments of the institution.   Under the superintendent, the head teachers of the Ashe Avenue unit and  Bloodworth Street unit became the principals of their respective depart- ments.  In 1929 the General Assembly authorized the sale of the  Bloodworth Street campus, and appropriated funds for the construction    of a new facility five miles southeast of Raleigh.  In 1931 the Negro  Division of the State School for the Blind and Deaf moved to the new  campus on Garner Road.  In 1969 the institution was renamed the Governor Morehead School in honor of Governor John Motley Morehead, whose advocacy for the handi- capped was instrumental in the establishment of the school.  In 1969 racial references to white, colored, or negro were eliminated from the  General Statutes, and the Governor Morehead School began the process of integration.  The Executive Organization Act of 1971 permitted the  institution and its board of directors to retain their full statutory powers, but placed the institution under the control of the secretary of the Department of Human Resources for administrative purposes.  In 1973 the two campuses of the Governor Morehead School were consolidated into the Ashe Avenue campus, which remains a school for the blind.  The deaf students from the Garner Road campus were transferred to other state-operated schools for the deaf in Wilson and Morganton.  In 1981 an act to recodify elementary and secondary education set an age range of five through eighteen for pupils at the Governor Morehead School.  In 1989 the board of directors adopt rules and establish standards for the school in order to help secure federal grants-in-aid.   REFERENCES:  P.L., 1844-45, c. 37.  P.L., 1846-47, c. 48.
