Rahigh City Schools Super in
tendent Jesse O. Sanderson is ai-j
k'.ed to have wrilttn a. sharply,
i.nUcJl" lei lei to Gary sdmol of-j
Hem:;-., protesting the manner in:
which Dr Watson was hired.
Di Watson did not. seek the:
prKfi-n and be did not file an ap-;
plication for it, the CAROLINIAN:
learned this week
Di Wot.on flatly declined to
make any comments or answer:
»juem tons about his new move !
However, - spokesman lot the.
v School Beard said "You 1
may unequivocally that we:
•ve flighted to have an educator j
ct ir, Watson's stature to join |
onv staff- He comes highly re-;
commended and wc are profound-;
impressed with his distinguished;
career to date."
The Gary source, which said a:
“letter critical of our recruitment;
procedure had been received ini
Gary, sard Dr, Watson was ex*j
poc'cd at his new post “around !
January IS.”
A3 pieced together by the CAR
OLINIAN. this is apparently the;
trend of events that led to Dr.
Watson's surprise move:
<D Dr Tatum, nearing retire
ment, is interested in cooperating'
with Gary authorities in finding;
a suitable successor. Gary author!-;
ties are inclined to believe a man j
with Tatum’s background would I
fit into the pattern of education;
in Gary City schols which are in j
transition from formerly residen- j
Dally segregated enrollment to J
gradual integrated enrollment. j
Tatum, and Gary authorities!
