Board Of Education Balks At HEW Ruling Faced with a ruling that Its faculty Integration proposals for Warren County falls to meet guide lines of the Civil Rights Act, the Qoafd of Education Monday night questioned the legal right of the U. S. Office of Education to require the Warren County Board of Education to assign Negro teachers to predomi nantly white schools and white teachers to predominantly Ne gro schools. Following a presentation of a letter to Supt. of Schools J. Roger Peeler from Harold Howe, II., U. S. Commission er of Education, In which Howe stated that steps taken by the board were not adequate, members of the Board of Ed ucation voted to take no fur ther action until a study Is made of the statute to deter jmlng_the legality of the posi tion of the Department of Health, Education and Wel fare. Howe's letter to Supt. Peel er reads as follows: "This Office has reviewed the report of planned staff assignments for 1966-67 sub mitted for your school system under Section 181.18(b) of the 1966 school desegregation guidelines. This report In dicates that for the 1966-67 school year, your school sys tem will make some progress beyond what was accomplished for the 1965-66 school vear In the desegregation of pro fessional staff, it does ap pear, however, on the basis of the report you have sub mitted, that the steps you propose in staff desegregation are not adequate in your situ ation to accomplish the pur poses of Title VI. The Civil Rights Act, as well as re cent decisions of the court under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, require that segregated teaching staffs be desegregated. Secretary Gardner stated in the past few months in his letter of April 9 to Mem bers of Congress andGovern ors, a copy of which was sent to you, that the revised guide lines required that areason able beginning be made and that reasonable progress be achieved beyond what was achieved last year. As we have explained in the Past few months in meetings with school officials, a reasonable beginning might in some cases be achieved by the assignment of at least one staff member to each school In the district on a desegregated basis. The guidelines, however, do allow for flexibility as to how a district might undertake faculty desegregation, if an alternative pattern is thought to be more practical, it ought nevertheless, to be feasible to assign roughly that same number of teachers to one or more schools on a desegre gated basis, but not neces sarily to all schools in the district. The enclosed ma terial on teacher desegre gation may be helpful to your school board In planning additional staff desegregation. Please Indicate as promptly as possible the additional steps you will take to achieve significant progress In the desegregation of your sys tem's teachers when school opens next fall. You should also send us any Information concerning special problems tn your district which would be useful In evaluating the additional steps you propose for teacher desegregation In your school system. This Office will make every effort to assist your school system to comply voluntarily with the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1064. School districts have found that teacher deseg regation can be carried out most _ successfully where superintendents and school board members give students, teachers, and the entire com munity resourceful and de ?se BALKS, page 3) School Board Orders Land Condemnation The Warren County Board of Education on Monday night ordered that condemnation procedures be Initiated against Charles and Alexander Katzensteln to obtain two acres of land for expansion of the school garage at Warren Plains.
