Franklinton (Continued from Page 1) of Integration that would meet the percentage of desegratlon expected by the opening of the 1966-67 school term." The reluctance of Franklin ton officials to discuss the meeting with HEW officials has caused some speculation that more neglotatlons are In the making. Che official said, "The Board will meet today, tonight and as often as ne cessary to resolve this matter." A letter from Harold Howe, n, U. S. Commissioner of Education, dated August 18, 1966, disclosed that the Frank linton system expects eight Negro students to attend the all-white Franklinton High School this fall, and that one Negro faculty member has been employed at the white school. Supt. Rogers said there would be nt> delay In the planned opening of the Frank linton Schools next week. Wednesday Is slated as Orien tation Day for pupils with Thursday, September I, the first day of school. ? The complete textofRogers' statement as released?*Qday follows: In a letter dated August 18, 1966 from United States Com missioner of Education, Harold Howe, n, Franklinton's Freedom of Choice school de segregation plan was deolared Inadequate to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. , u In the letter Commissioner Howe stated: "Inasmuch as you have ex pressed your expectations that only 8 of the 793 Negro stu dents in your district will be attending classes on a dese gregated basis during the school year 1966-67, and only 1 professional staff member of a staff of approximately 57 members will be assigned fuUtime on a desegregated basis, we have undertaken a review of the performance of your district In taking steps to carry out your.plan of de segregation. It is the responsibility of every schooj district which is operating undir a desegre gation plan to take such steps as are necessary and appro priate to desegregate Its pub lic schools. It is not enough for a school board to go through the formalities required by the plan If such action falls to bring about meaningful desegregation. We find a lack of substantial evidence that effective step* have been taken to further the elimination at the dual school systeiti In your district. In the present status of this mat ter I find it necessary to notify my staff and your State educa tion agency that action on applications for new programs and activities for your school district be deterred pendlt* resolution of these pro blems," Howe concluded. A team from the United | States Office of Education Is working with the Franklinton Board of Education concern ing the desegregation pro blems. "Applications for more than $80,000 to begin new edu cational programs are being held up pending adequate re solution of school desegrega tion In Franklinton, i*it It has been made clear that adequate desegregation of the schools is mandatory whether money is Involved or not," Superin tendent Rogers stated.
