February 1, 1962 The organization meeting of the Board of Education was held in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Building on Thursday, February 1, 1962, and was called to order by Mr. Kiss at 7:30 p. m. Members in attendance were

Mrs. Louise R. Grabow and Messrs. Carman R. Hintz, William Kiss, John H. Perry and Theodore B. Van Itallie. Dr. Harry L. Stearns, Superintendent of

Schools, John R. Holliday, Assistant Superintendent, Abram A. Lebson, Attorney, and Mrs. Winifred R. Schambera, Secretary, were present.

/ ~
The Secretary announced that notice had been received of the reappointment of Mr. William Kiss as a member of the Board of Education for a 'term of five years from February 1, 1962 to January 31, 1967. i Mr. Kiss: Our Attorney, Judge Lebson, has a statement to make. Chairman, members of the Board, ladies and gentleUnder

Judge Lebson:

men; topight is the Organization Meeting of the Board of Education.

the law, it is provided that on the first of February, before 8 p. m., the Board should meet and organize. Normally, the only thing that comes up at

this meeting is the official organization of the meeting where a President and Vice President are elected^ an Attorney is usually selected, banks are designated as official depositories, and newspapers are usually selected as the official newspapers, and nothing more beyond that except to adopt the general rules as we have adopted them in the past. thing that takes place at the organization meeting. That is usually the only However, Mr. Paul

Zuber, who represents some children who attempted to register in one of our schools this morning, has asked me if we would give him the opportunity to make the same request officially tonight, and we have gone outside of the regular procedure in order to permit him to make that request. He feels

Board of Education Organization Meeting, February 1, 1962

-2-

that it is necessary for the purpose of his case, and so we are departing from the usual procedure in order to permit Mr. Zuber to make the request and he will make it at this time. Mr, Paul Zuber: Laides and gentlemen of the Board, I have been

retained by ten families, or eight families representing ten children, within the City of Englewood who are seeking to establish some policy on the part of the School Board as to the desegregation of the public schools of the City of Englewood. This morning, at approximately 9 or 9:15, these

parents proceeded to the Don Quarles School and attempted to register and they were denied their registration. Shortly after that we proceeded to the

office of Dr. Harry Stearns, who is the Superintendent of Schools in Englewood, where again we requested that these youngsters be given an opportunity to get an equal educational opportunity in the public school system of Englewood. Now in order for me not to run into the controversy wherein once

we file the action in the Federal Courts that it can be raised that we did not exhaust all of our administrative remedies, I now come before this Board and request again that there be a re-evaluation of the policy on the segregated school policy of the public school system of Englewood wherein these youngsters will be permitted to transfer from the Lincoln School, and in the instance of two of the youngsters from the Liberty School, to the Don Quarles School. Now as Judge Lebson has said this is merely a procedural There is

matter which is now before this Board for a decision to be made.

only one request that I ask each and every member of this Board to weigh very, very carefully. There is no intention in my heart or in my mind or

within my legal ability to make Englewood another New Rochelle, but if I am compelled to do that, then remember I ain an attorney and that I will

represent and handle most fully those rights as far as my plaintiffs, the clients in this case, are concerned. One thing further, it is my under-

standing that there is a draft that has been compiled by the Superintendent of Schools in reference to a study in depth that has been conducted for the benefit of the Board of Education. Gentlemen, do not force me to embarrass

you to the extent of calling for that record and it is no longer available because when this action is filed in Court, my first demand will be for the original draft of that report to be placed in the custody of the Federal Court until we can get this action before the Federal Court. Now this is

about as far as I can go, as far as this particular action is concerned. are a number of people who are vitally concerned about this matter, there are a number of people sitting in this room, and I don't know what they're going to do, or what they're not going to do. This is the decision

that rests with this Board of Education, but I can only say this, that I had hoped that somewhere along the line that logic and reasoning and common sense could have resolved a lot of the problems that now face your School Board. If that is not the case, then all I am asking is for it to be placed

on the record that this Board votes to deny the request of these parents for
VL

" >

these children to be assigned to desegregated schools and once that denial is made, then mv course is open; Judge Lebson knows what my course will be, .and I can assure you that we will try to expedite this matter as rapidly as

possible.

So I think that that is all that I have to say on this matter.

I feel that you have been more than gracious in affording me this opportu* nity to present this request to the Board; what the Board does with it, that is their business but I can only assure you of one thing, that those who are
f

'familiar with my actions once I come into a school segregation case or any

Board of Education Organization Meeting, February 1, 1962

case, I do not fool around so if you gentlemen will kindly advise me as to what is your position on this matter of the request of these parents this morning. I would request that the Secretary please provide me with a copy

of the minutes so I can make it a part of the Court record, then we can take it on from there and if we're wrong, then we'll be proven wrong in a court of law; if we're right, then we'll be proven right in a court of law and whatever transpires from this point on and I think that is the decision that this Board and nobody else can make. Mr. Kiss: Thank you very much, sir.

Mr. Zuber, am I to understand that what you're actually

requesting is a confirmation of the action of Mr. Garrity, who is Principal of the Quarles School, and also the action of the Superintendent of Schools? Mr. Zuber: Well, it was my understanding and I think that you

should know, when I talked to Mr. Garrity when we were at Mr. Garrity's school, he took a particular position. When I went to talk to Dr. Stearns,

his only position, and I think this should be made perfectly clear, is that he must abide by the rules and regulations of this Board and the decision of 1954 of Commissioner Raubinger. So now it comes to this Board, who is

the determiner of policy of the public school educational system in Englewood and the request is that these children be transferred from a racially segregated school to a racially desegregated school, namely, from Lincoln to Don Quarles and in the instance of two children from the Liberty School to the other school and if we can get that statement, I think that there will be no more problems and from there on in, I think it is out of our hands and anybody else's hands. Mr. Kiss: Thank you. That's all, sir.

Judge Lebson:

Mr. Chairman and members of the Board; Mr. Zuber's

statement tonight is exactly what I expected him to say, as a matter of fact, exactly what he told me he would say. The position of the Board is,

now that we have been brought into litigationabout to be brought into litigationMr. Zuber attempted to register some children in the Quarles School this morning and they were denied for the reasons expressed, the Superintendent made the same denial. Mr. Zuber, it will be noted on the

record tonight, of the meeting, that the Board of Education reaffirms its position, which they took on September 5, 1961, directing the principals of the elementary schools and the Superintendent, to adhere to the established neighborhood boundary lines, and accordingly the Board of Education ratifies the action taken today by its Principal, Mr. Francis A. Garrity, Principal of the Quarles School, and Superintendent, Dr. Harry L. Stearns, on February 1, 1962. And the records will show that. If you want it in the form of a

vote, we can do that. Mr. Zuber: Well, I would prefer it in the form of a vote, sir, If each member will so state that

because there have been questions raised.

that is their position, then I'm not going to argue procedure. Judge Lebson: Mr. Chairman, it is in order that a motion be

adopted, adopting this statement which I mentioned here today, and take a

All right.

I'll read the statement.

A Financial Report for the Interscholastic Athletic Program, dated February 1, 1962, was received and placed on file. Statements of receipts and expenditures of the Ridgewood, Teaneck, and Hackensack basketball games, were received and placed on file. On motion made, seconded and carried, the above action was confirmed. The following statement was read by the President: It is a matter of common knowledge that the Board of Education of the City of Englewood is about to be brought into litigation for adhering to the established neighborhood boundary lines. This limits what the Board can properly say. Nevertheless, it is the unanimous feeling of this Board that we should re-emphasize the following important policy statement of September 5, 1961: "The Englewood Board of Education is opposed to segregation and discrimination in all its forms." This is basic to our dedication to make available the best possible education to every child attending the public schools of Englewood. In the light of recent events, we wish to re-iterate that we have stated this policy previously, but to prevent misunderstanding by anyone, we hereby reaffirm it. Also stated many times heretofore, but at the expense of being repetitious, is the status of the "depth study of the problems existing in our city which will affect the growth of student population; of the demands which the changing character of the city will make upon our school system." The Board first announced plans for this study on April 10, 1961. Dr. Stearns, the Superintendent of Schools, has been at work on it since that time. He has had the counsel of three outstanding authorities: Prof, Robert Wood of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor Robert Gutman of Rutgers University, and Prof. Dan Dodson of New York University. Each consultant has specifically agreed not to release any conclusion or recommendation made as a result of their services without the authority of the Board. Dr. Stearns has been completely freed from his administrative duties so that he can devote his full energies to completion of this study which will have an important bearing on our thinking and decision-making. As you well know, this study is to be delivered to the Board during the current month. Dr. Stearns who is now in the process of writing the report, informs us that this timetable will be kept. However, the public should remember that upon receipt of the report, the Board must then study and digest this report, on which outside authorities have collaborated, before any conclusions are possible. When the Board has completed its deliberations, its conclusions and the report itself will be made public and comment invited. All of you may rest assured that our review of the report will be diligent and expeditious. We shall not, however, sacrifice thoughtfulness to haste.

Board of Education Minutes, February 12, 1962 Secondly, we would like to express our profound gratitude to the many people of Englewood for their numerous, recent expressions of confidence and faith in the intentions and actions of their Board of Education.

Thirdly, and finally, we have an announcement in connection with the superintendency of the public schools of Englewood which will become vacant on September 1, 1962. We previously announced the following: "Because of the tremendous importance of this post to the community and the school system, the Board has decided to enlist the help of several consultants prominent in education in defining criteria and in the evaluation and screening of candidates." The following persons have agreed to assist the Board in accomplishing this allimportant task: Dr. Milton H. Steinhauer of the Graduate School of Education, Rutgers - The State University. Prof. Roderick F. McPhee, Assistant Professor of the Graduate School of Education, Harvard University. Mr. Charles Hassard, retired Superintendent of Schools, having served in this capacity at Union, New Jersey, for 40 years. This Board will proceed to arrange a meeting with these consultants at the earliest possible time to make further plans to complete the matter of selecting a new superintendent of schools for our public school system. The President called for comments by the audience and the following responded: /Mr. Byron Baer, Mr. Richard Stanard, Mrs. Mary Stevenson, Mrs. / Greenberg, Mrs. Shirley Passow, Mr. Leo Shellham, Mrs. Murray /f Cohen, Mr. Arthur Fisher, Mrs, Herbert Bern, Mrs. Jerome Stern, \Dr. Harold Graham. Subjects: Depth study; budget; school boundary \ at Lincoln Schoolenrichment program; suggestion Citizens Committee to discuss the Board's plans the depth study; public relations of the Board; as a means of better relations with the public. lines; education to form a as a result of School news letters

On motion made, seconded and carried, Mr. Jack Remignanti, having presented evidence of obtaining 30 points beyond the Masters Degree, is to receive salary for the school year 1961-62 at the rate of $5,900 per year (10 months), effective February 1, 1962. On motion made, seconded and carried, the above action was confirmed. The President read the following statement: On January 24, 1962, we made a statement to the effect that after the Board of Education received the report from the Superintendent of Schools and its consultants, we would study it in detail, and after the Board' had arrived at its decision, we would promptly make public its findings and conclusions and at that time it would also make available copies of the "Depth Study" of the Superintendent of Schools. The Board, hox^ever, on February 28, 1962, decided to amend its previous decision and decided to release the report to the public on March 12th, before it had had the opportunity to study the report in detail, thus giving the public the privilege of studying the report at the same time. We can now report that the Board has in the past twelve days, begun its study of the report. It is called "Englewood - Its People and Its Schools: A R.eport to the Board of Education." As stated above, because of widespread interest in the community in problems considered in this depth study, the Board has had a limited number of copies prepared for the public at this time. We are pleased to have the public join us in studying this document at this time. This report presents a wealth of data about our city never before assembled. It delineates trends that every citizen should be aware of. It outlines some lines of action that should stimulate a great deal of thought in many areas, some of them beyond education. In this document the community as a whole is given perspective on the currents in which it, as an entity in a great metropolitan swirl, finds itself. At this point, let us reflect for a moment about what this report is. Periodically this Board tries to rise above the demands of day-to-day operation of the school system to take stock of longterm trends. Englewood Boards of Education have commissioned various studies in the past and the information they provided has been useful to the Boards in arriving at policy decisions. On April 10, 1961, the present Board charged Dr. Harry L. Stearns with making a study of enrollment trends, primarily to determine the disposition of the Franklin School and the Junior High School buildings on angle Street and the requirements for new school facilities. The Board was also concerned with enrollment trends as they affect the racial distribution of pupils among the schools and we asked Dr. Stearns to incorporate this into his study. Dr. Stearns, as most people know, was aided by three recognized

Board of Education Minutes, March 12, 1962 authorities on the situation under consideration: Dr. Dan W. Dodson, Professor of Education at New York University; Dr. Robert Gutman, Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University; and Dr. Robert C. Wood, Professor of Political Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The report comprises more than 150 pages, including 61 tables on such subjects as trend of distribution of occupations of Englewood residents, comparison of Englewood's age distribution in 1940 and 1960, trend of industrial development, functional operating capacity of Englewood school plant, racial composition of Englewood schools and potential housing development, population and school enrollment. The Introduction of the report states: "The report is designed as an aid to the Board of Education, the City Council and the citizens of Englewood in the formation of public policy." We on the Board should like to emphasize that this document is a splendid introduction to a set of important and pressing problems. It does not in any way relieve the Board and the community at large from their responsibilities in dealing with these problems. Perhaps more should be said about what the report is not. We emphasize it is not a report by the Board; it is to the Board. The Board had no part in its preparation beyond commissioning it and approving the consultants proposed to collaborate with Dr. Stearns. We made no suggestions or changes. We gave full freedom to the author and his consultants. Another thing the report is not: it is not to be either a target a club. The Board has chosen to now share this report with the ublic in the expectation that our own consideration of these problems can be aided by the thinking expressed by an informed public. _^

-8-

This brings us to the point where we should tell you how we intend to proceed in dealing with matters considered by the report. First, because the report is a technical document, we plan to sponsor several sessions at which the Board will attempt to explain the scope and purpose of the report, the methods used and the limitations inherent in an educational study of this kind. Second, the Board will continue its own study, seeking public advice before taking any action and initiating recommendations just as soon as is feasible. If we were not involved in a law suit, we could speak freely on all phases of the problem at hand. It should be appreciated, however, by all segments of the public that the Board at this moment is limited in what it can properly say about specific proposals in the report and any possible recommendations it may make by the fact that it is involved in litigation. As you all know, we were threatened with litigation and this has happened, and the Board's Attorney is answering them with orderly legal process.

Q*?

Board of Education Minutes, March 12, 1962 Clearly, this limits severely what can be said. I am sure that I speak for all residents of Englewood in expressing the hope that our community will soon be out from under this cloud and we can again calmly proceed with solving our educational problems for the best interest of all children of Englewood. The President announced that a public meeting would be held at Academic Hall on Monday, March 19th, for a discussion of Part I of the report, and that Professor Robert Wood of M. I. T,, one of the consultants, would be present. At that time, the date of a second public meeting would be announced.

Because of the limited number of copies of the report, "Englewood - Its People and Its Schools", available at this time, they were distributed only to representatives of various organizations. As soon as an additional supply is obtained, they will be released to individuals. The President called for comments by the audience and the following responded: Mr. Emmette Cusberth, Mr. Leon Appel, Mr. Robert Miller, Mr. Leon Smith, Mrs. Angela McLinn, Mrs. Alfred H, Levine, Mr. Byron Baer, Mr. Robert Greenberg. Subjects: Distribution of depth study report; date the Board will make recommendations for implementation of their decision; Board commended for the report; policy statement on letting contracts to firms employing Negroes. On motion made, seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned at 9:25 p. m.

You may be assured that your Board of Education is actively pursuing its responsibility to determine what program is the best for all of our children, despite the fact that we are involved in litigation.

-13-

Because the litigation is a very serious matter that concerns us all, we have asked Judge Lebson, the Board's Attorney, to summarize what is happening in court. Judge Lebson reported that the Board of Education had filed a request for a dismissal of the suit that has been brought against the Board in the Federal Court, on the ground that the plaintiffs had not exhausted their administrative remedies by first appealing to the State Commissioner of Education. The motion was argued by counsel before the Court today. The Judge has reserved decision in the matter. That decision will be either that the case should be dismissed as we contend or that the case will be retained by the Court, thus opening testimony and further court proceedings so that the Court can determine whether the plaintiffs have a proper cause of action or not. Judge Lebson also reported on the question raised at a previous meeting pertaining to the ownership of the property on Engle Street, to the effect that the property is owned by the Board of Education. The President called for comments by the audience and the following responded: Dr. Harold Graham, Mrs. Edward Brubaker, Mr. David Friedman, Mrs. Angela McLinn, Mr. Monroe Dowling, Mrs. Herbert Dern, Mr. Israel Levy, Mrs. Robert Greenberg, Mr. Kenneth Lopez, and Mrs. Alfred H. Levine. Subjects: Additional meetings to discuss the report; program for intellectually talented students; racial imbalance in the schools; organizations have worked for integration; give community best plan for best educational opportunities as well as best plan for integration; in-migration and out-migration; selection of Superintendent . On motion made, seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned at 10 p. m.

A Financial Report for the Interscholastic Athletic Program, dated May 3, 1962, was received and placed on file. The following action was taken at the Committee of the Whole meeting on May 9, 1962: The Superintendent was authorized to fill new positions in sequence of importanceadditional English teacher for the high school, additional music teacher, and an additional elementary teacher for Lincoln School. He reported that the three trainable classes at Lincoln School would be consolidated into two classes for 1962-63. The payment of expenses of a teacher candidate to travel here from Ohio for an interview, at a cost of approximately $68, was authorized. The payment of salary to Dr. Holliday for his services during his vacation period (month of June) for a period not to exceed three weeks, was authorized. The Secretary was directed to withhold any further payments to the Romagnino Construction Company for work on the new buildings. On motion made, seconded and carried, the above action was confirmed. The Vice President read the following statement: In April, 1961, the Board of Education directed the Superintendent of Schools to conduct a study in depth of enrollment trends in Englewood as they might affect future classroom needs. The primary purpose of this study was to help the Board to determine whether the soon-to-be vacated school buildings on Engle Street would be required for educational purposes after completion and occupancy of the new Junior High School. The Superintendent was authorized to obtain the help of two consultants to assist him in the design and conduct of the study. In June, 1961, the attention of the Board was called to a condition , of "racial imbalance" existing in the Lincoln School, and the Board was requested by a group of interested parents to give this situation its attention. At a special meeting in September, held jointly with representatives of various groups including IMAA.CP and the Urban League, the Board agreed to include consideration of this matter of racial imbalance in the Superintendent's depth study. At that time a third consultant recommended by the N.AACP was retained by the Board to assist the Superintendent.

After a period of intensive work, the Superintendent with the help of the consultants completed his report February 28, 1962 and immediately delivered it to the Board. Soon afterward the Board made the report available without charge to individuals and groups in the community who requested copies. Two formal hearings about the report were held in which many members of the community participated and expressed their views. Board members also participated informally in a number of smaller meetings during the academic year in an attempt to obtain a better understanding of community thinking about school matters. The Board has diligently studied the report, has digested a great number of suggestions and recommendations from other sources and is grateful to many of you for the excellent ideas that have been advanced to the Board members. In addition, Board members also pursued thinking of their own; during the past two and a half months the Board has met almost continuouslyevenings, Saturdays and Sundayson this and allied Board problems. It soon became apparent to all the members that no easy or quick solutions to the issues described were available or possible. Indeed, there were many questions about how the issues themselves should be defined. Nevertheless, the Board has arrived at certain determinations which it should like to communicate promptly to the public: 1. The Board reaffirms that its primary obligation and responsibility is to provide the best possible education for each child in the public school system. The Board has steadfastly held to this principle in the past and will continue to do so in the future. 2. The Board reaffirms its unqualified and vigorous opposition to discrimination for or against any individual on grounds of race, color, creed or religion. With these basic principles in mind, the Board has carefully evaluated the Superintendent's report, as well as the many other suggestions and plans laid before it by interested members of the community, and has reached the following conclusions: 1. The "neighborhood school" system of assigning children to the schools nearest their homes is a sound and logical policy. This policy should be followed until it can be demonstrated that a clear educational advantage results from employment of some other system of school assignment or some modification of the neighborhood school policy. 2. Elementary education in Englewood can profit by the employment of new and imaginative approaches to teaching that have been proved to be effective. The Board has long been interested in new educational techniques and how they might be applied to improve elementary education in Englewood. The Board is particularly concerned that culturally deprived children in the public schools be

Board of Education lYIinutes, May 14, 1962

-7-

given every opportunity to develop to their full potential. The Board also believes that encounters between children of different races, colors, creeds and religions at the elementary level can be educationally valuable to them and desirable from the standpoint of the community. The Board therefore proposes to initiate a program for the improvement of elementary education for the coming school year. The program will begin with the setting up of a demonstration school at the former Junior High School at 11 Engle Street. The classes composing the school will constitute a new departure in elementary education and an attempt will be made to have each class composed of White and Negro children in a proportion reflecting roughly the proportion of Negroes and Whites in the community. The purpose of having such a mixture is not to achieve a "mixture" for its own sake, but to provide all the children who participate an opportunity to learn not only from their lessons but from each other. To determine how such classes can be conducted so as to permit each child to progress at his own proper rate and to be stimulated to do his best work, is one of a number of challenging questions that such a demonstration school can help to answer. It is intended that the demonstration school will pioneer in the use of modern and imaginative approaches to teaching elementary children. Such techniques as team teaching, teaching machines, ungraded classes, special audio-visual aids, etc. will be used where indicated, Language laboratories also will be set up. The Board is seeking monetary support from Foundations to help this project grow and achieve stature. Attendance at the demonstration school will be voluntary and children from all the elementary schools will be permitted to participate in the school to the limit of its capacity. However, such a school, since it is to begin in the Fall, necessarily must start as a pilot project, and develop further as its success is made manifest to the Board and the community. The Board intends to initiate this school out of current funds. If additional funds are needed, the Board will make a request to the Board of School Estimate. The demonstration school plan was first proposed by a Board member and discussed at a Board meeting in March of 1962. Because of the obvious excellence of the suggestion, the Board was immediately impressed by its advantages and on April 1 the plan was discussed with Dr. Robert Wood of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the consultants to the depth study. On April 20, 1962, the plan was presented to the Dean of an outstanding Graduate School of Education and from this arrangements were made for a meeting which will take place tomorrow between the Board members and representatives of this University. On May 5, 1962, the Board also requested the Superintendent to prepare a detailed preliminary plan for implementing the demonstration school this Fall with a tentative budget. Since this plan

Board of Education Ylinutss, May 14, 1962

still requires revision and refinement the Board is unable to provide the details at this time. However, complete plans will be made available as soon as possible. Community support of ithis demonstration school is of paramount importance to insure the success of the program. Members of the Board are hopeful that citizens of the community who are interested in promoting outstanding public education and better human relations will join with the Board in making the demonstration school work. It is to be expected that the experience gained from the demonstration school will help the elementary school program throughout the City. In the report, "Englewood- Its People, Its Schools," it is suggested that the Engle Street property be temporarily retained in order that educational programs designed to answer certain important unanswered questions be instituted. The Board agrees with this suggestion. The Board has also carefully considered each of the proposals listed and briefly described in the depth study and has concluded that the plan for the demonstration school is the most responsive answer to the' challenge facinq our community's school system. As you know, the parents of nine children have brought an action in the Federal Court against the Englewood Board of Education, Dr. Harry L. Stearns, Superintendent of Schools, and the State Commissioner of Education, That motion was argued by counsel before the Court on April 9 and there is reason to believe that a decision will be forthcoming within the next two weeks. That decision will be either that the case should be dismissed as was contended or that the case will be retained by the Court, thus opening testimony and further court proceedings so that the Court can determine whether the plaintiffs have a proper cause of action or not. The Board would have preferred to withhold its plan until the Court hands down its ruling, however, because of the tremendous community interest in this problem and because of the need to move ahead rapidly so that the school plan may be put into effect in the Fall, it was decided by the Board that the interests of the community would best be served by making this announcement tonight. The Board strongly believes that the demonstration school will provide a setting in which certain problems that have beset elementary education in Englewood may be attacked with vigor and imagination. The Board believes that with community support this school will succeed and in the years ahead the school system will gain new approaches to elementary education which will enthusiastically be received because they will have been demonstrated to be educationally valuable.

On motion made, seconded and carried, a public meeting of the Board of Education will be held on Thursday, June 23, 1962, at Englewood Academic Hall at 8 p. m. The following statement was read by the I/ice President: At our May 14th meeting, the Board of Education announced that it would set up a Demonstration School next September at the old Junior High School, 11 Engle Street. It stated that the Demonstration School would be integrated with children from all sections of the City. This school would explore the efficacy of a number of the newer techniques used in elementary education and would be on a voluntary basis. The Board further stated that should there be an insufficient number of applicants to set up any classes, graded or ungraded, with the optimum proportion of Negro and white students, then it may be assumed that the proposal is not acceptable to the community, and the plan should be abandoned. On June 5th, the Board sent out 2,000 questionnaires to parents of children in the elementary schools. We are tabulating the answers to that questionnaire to ascertain what the community's response is. At this time we only have 20% returned. Should the trend evidenced from the meager returns at hand continue, it would appear that the Demonstration School as presented by the Board of Education does not meet with the approval of the parents. Our next public meeting will be two weeks from tonight, Thursday, June 28th, and we hope to be ready on or before that date, with the final determination. The Vice President called for comments by the audience and the following responded: Mrs. Ernest E, Cartuiright, Mrs. Delores McNeil, Mrs. Shirley Lacy, Mr. Arnold Brown, Rev. Isaiah Goodman, Mrs. Robert Seitel, Mr. James H. Rucker, Rabbi Irwin Blank, Mr. Leo Shohan, Mrs. Rose Friedman, Mr. Leon Smith, Rev. C.

A letter, dated Way 24, 1962, was received from Mayor Austin N. Volk advising that he had appointed Mr. Warren L. Leu/is as a member of the Board of Education for the unexpired term of Mr. William Kiss, ending January 31, 1967. On motion/made, seconded and carried, the following resolution was adopted: IILLIAM KISS has just completed almost ten years of very active and devoted association with the problems of the schools of the City of Englewood and it is with considerable regret that the Board of Education acknowledges notice of his decision to retire, both as a member of the Board and as President. Long before becoming active as a member of the Board of Education, Mr. Kiss devoted many years as an ardent worker and later as President of various Parent-Teacher Associations. He served as President of the Liberty School Parent-Teacher Association and as President of the Parent-Teacher Association Council at various times. During all of that time, he spent a great deal of time and put forth tremendous effort toward the problems of the children, their parents and the teachers in bettering the progress of education within the City of Englewood. He constantly brought to the attention of the Board of Education, for its consideration, many splendid suggestions, ideas and views. Some years later, the Mayor of the City of Englewood appointed Mr. Kiss as a member of the Board of Education. Throughout his many years of service on the Board, he lent much of his time and devoted strenuous effort toward helping solve the problems that had presented themselves. Later, he was recognized for his devotion and service by being elected and reelected President of the Board of Education. During Mr. Kiss1 term of service, both the Donald A. Quarles School and the Englewood Junior High School and Englewood Acadsmic Hall were planned and built. The successful completion of these buildings is due in a large measure to the individual attention givsn by Mr. Kiss. He was constantly on the site of construction. He pursued the contractor and architect and guided the completion of these buildings so that they would be ready in time for school use. These buildings will forever stand as a monument to the dedicated service which Mr. Kiss gave forth. Besides the erection and completion of these buildings, many other important, involved and complicated problems presented themselves insofar as the Board of Education was concerned. It became necessary for Mr, Kiss to devote days, evenings, weekends and all kinds of extra time in order to help resolve the problems at hand. This was done with a great sacrifice on his part toward his health and siness.

' f a

Board of Education Winutes, June 11, 1962 It is with genuine regret that the Board finds itself without Mr. Kiss" service from this point on but at the same time, the Board of Education wishes him good health and happiness and in adopting this Pflinute, it desires to recognize the heritage of accomplishment that he left for the school system, the Board of Education and the City of Englewood. This Minute is hereby unanimously endorsed and acclaimed by all of the members of the Board of Education, on the 11th day of June, 1962. The Secretary reported that letters were received from organizations and individuals pertaining to the report, "EnglewoodIts People and Its Schools", and also the Board's announcement to establish a Demonstration School.
