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, Attor-

ney, and Mrs. Winifred R. Schambera, Secretary, were present.

/~The Secretary announced that notice had been received of the re-

appointment 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.

Judge Lebson: Chairman, members of the Board, ladies and gentle-

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

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. That is usually the only

thing that takes place at the organization meeting. 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 -2-Organization Meeting, February 1, 1962

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 Engle-

wood, 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 segre-

gated 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

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

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

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 aref

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


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. Thank you very much, sir.

Mr. Kiss: 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 Engle-

wood 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. That's all, sir.

Mr. Kiss: Thank you.


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 litigation—about to be brought into

litigation—Mr. 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,

because there have been questions raised. If each member will so state that

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

Mr. Kiss: All right. I'll read the statement. The Board of

Education hereby reaffirms its position, taken 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 hereby ratifies the action taken by its employees, Mr. Francis


A. Garrity, Principal of Ouarles School, and Superintendent Dr. Harry L.

Stearns, on February 1, 1962. This is in the form of a resolution.

On motion of Mr. Hintz, seconded by Dr. Van Itallie, the fore-

going resolution was adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Mrs. Grabow, Messrs. Hintz, Kiss, Perry, Van Itallie.

Nays: None.

Mr. Kiss: The motion has been carried. We will now proceed with

the organizational part of our meeting.

The Superintendent of Schools took the Chair.

The Superintendent called for nominations for President.

Dr. Van Itallie nominated Mr. Kiss for President and the nomina-

tion was seconded by Mr. Hintz. On motion made, seconded and carried, the

nominations were closed, and on roll call, Mr. Kiss was unanimously elected

President,

The President took the Chair.

(At this point, it was impossible to take any further record of

the meeting for the reason that the large audience that was present cre-

ed loud and continuance disturbances making it impossible for anyone to

be heard and making it impossible for the members of the Board to hear each

other.)

S At this point, the President announced that the remainder of the

meeting would be held in the room adjacent to the Council Chamber and upon

re-convening, the President called for nominations for Vice President.

Mr. Hintz nominated Mr. Perry for Vice President and the nomina-

tion was seconded by Dr. Van Itallie. On motion made, seconded and carried,

the nominations were closed, and on roll call, Mr. Perry was unanimously

elected Vice President.


The President called for nominations for Attorney.

Mrs. Grabow nominated Judge Abram A. Lebson as Attorney for the

Board of Education and the nomination was seconded by Dr. Van Itallie. On

motion made, seconded and carried, the nominations were closed, and on

roll call, Judge Lebson was unanimously elected Attorney for the Board.

On motion made, seconded and carried, the following resolution was

unanimously adopted:

RESOLVED: That The Citizens National Bank and the Palisades Trust

Company of Englewood, New Jersey, and such other banking institu-

tions as are presently in existence, shall be depositories for

Board of Education funds.



RESOLVED: That rules and regulations under which the Board of

Education has operated are to remain in full force and effect

until otherwise duly changed.



RESOLVED: That the second Monday of each month shall be designated

The following statement was read by the President:

It is a matter of common knowledge that the Board of Education ofthe City of Englewood is about to be brought into litigation foradhering to the established neighborhood boundary lines. Thislimits what the Board can properly say. Nevertheless, it is theunanimous feeling of this Board that we should re-emphasize thefollowing important policy statement of September 5, 1961: "TheEnglewood Board of Education is opposed to segregation and dis-crimination in all its forms." This is basic to our dedicationto make available the best possible education to every childattending the public schools of Englewood. In the light of recentevents, we wish to re-iterate that we have stated this policy pre-viously, but to prevent misunderstanding by anyone, we herebyreaffirm it.

Also stated many times heretofore, but at the expense of beingrepetitious, is the status of the "depth study of the problemsexisting in our city which will affect the growth of student popu-lation; of the demands which the changing character of the citywill make upon our school system." The Board first announcedplans for this study on April 10, 1961. Dr. Stearns, the Super-intendent of Schools, has been at work on it since that time. Hehas had the counsel of three outstanding authorities: Prof, RobertWood of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Professor RobertGutman of Rutgers University, and Prof. Dan Dodson of New York Uni-versity. Each consultant has specifically agreed not to releaseany conclusion or recommendation made as a result of their serviceswithout the authority of the Board. Dr. Stearns has been completelyfreed from his administrative duties so that he can devote his fullenergies to completion of this study which will have an importantbearing on our thinking and decision-making.

As you well know, this study is to be delivered to the Board duringthe current month. Dr. Stearns who is now in the process of writingthe report, informs us that this timetable will be kept. However,the public should remember that upon receipt of the report, theBoard must then study and digest this report, on which outside author-ities have collaborated, before any conclusions are possible. Whenthe Board has completed its deliberations, its conclusions and thereport itself will be made public and comment invited. All of you mayrest assured that our review of the report will be diligent andexpeditious. We shall not, however, sacrifice thoughtfulness tohaste.


-10-

Secondly, we would like to express our profound gratitude to themany people of Englewood for their numerous, recent expressions ofconfidence and faith in the intentions and actions of their Boardof Education.

Thirdly, and finally, we have an announcement in connection with thesuperintendency of the public schools of Englewood which will becomevacant on September 1, 1962. We previously announced the following:"Because of the tremendous importance of this post to the communityand the school system, the Board has decided to enlist the help ofseveral consultants prominent in education in defining criteria andin the evaluation and screening of candidates." The following per-sons have agreed to assist the Board in accomplishing this all-important task:

Dr. Milton H. Steinhauer of the Graduate School of Education,Rutgers - The State University.

Prof. Roderick F. McPhee, Assistant Professor of the GraduateSchool of Education, Harvard University.

Mr. Charles Hassard, retired Superintendent of Schools, havingserved in this capacity at Union, New Jersey, for 40 years.

This Board will proceed to arrange a meeting with these consultants atthe earliest possible time to make further plans to complete thematter of selecting a new superintendent of schools for our publicschool system.

The President called for comments by the audience and the followingresponded:

/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.

On January 24, 1962, we made a statement to the effect that afterthe Board of Education received the report from the Superintendentof Schools and its consultants, we would study it in detail, andafter the Board' had arrived at its decision, we would promptly makepublic its findings and conclusions and at that time it would alsomake available copies of the "Depth Study" of the Superintendent ofSchools. The Board, hoxêver, on February 28, 1962, decided to amendits previous decision and decided to release the report to the publicon March 12th, before it had had the opportunity to study the reportin detail, thus giving the public the privilege of studying thereport at the same time.

We can now report that the Board has in the past twelve days, begunits study of the report. It is called "Englewood - Its People andIts Schools: A R.eport to the Board of Education." As stated above,because of widespread interest in the community in problems con-sidered in this depth study, the Board has had a limited number ofcopies prepared for the public at this time.

We are pleased to have the public join us in studying this documentat this time. This report presents a wealth of data about our citynever before assembled. It delineates trends that every citizenshould be aware of. It outlines some lines of action that shouldstimulate a great deal of thought in many areas, some of them beyondeducation. In this document the community as a whole is given per-spective on the currents in which it, as an entity in a greatmetropolitan swirl, finds itself.

At this point, let us reflect for a moment about what this reportis. Periodically this Board tries to rise above the demands ofday-to-day operation of the school system to take stock of long-term trends. Englewood Boards of Education have commissionedvarious studies in the past and the information they provided hasbeen useful to the Boards in arriving at policy decisions. OnApril 10, 1961, the present Board charged Dr. Harry L. Stearnswith making a study of enrollment trends, primarily to determinethe disposition of the Franklin School and the Junior High Schoolbuildings on angle Street and the requirements for new schoolfacilities. The Board was also concerned with enrollment trends

i

as they affect the racial distribution of pupils among the schoolsand we asked Dr. Stearns to incorporate this into his study. Dr.Stearns, as most people know, was aided by three recognized


authorities on the situation under consideration: Dr. Dan W.Dodson, Professor of Education at New York University; Dr. RobertGutman, Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University; and Dr.Robert C. Wood, Professor of Political Science at MassachusettsInstitute of Technology.

The report comprises more than 150 pages, including 61 tables onsuch subjects as trend of distribution of occupations of Englewoodresidents, comparison of Englewood's age distribution in 1940 and1960, trend of industrial development, functional operating capa-city of Englewood school plant, racial composition of Englewoodschools and potential housing development, population and schoolenrollment.

The Introduction of the report states: "The report is designedas an aid to the Board of Education, the City Council and thecitizens of Englewood in the formation of public policy." We onthe Board should like to emphasize that this document is a splendidintroduction to a set of important and pressing problems. It doesnot in any way relieve the Board and the community at large fromtheir responsibilities in dealing with these problems.

Perhaps more should be said about what the report is not. Weemphasize it is not a report by the Board; it is to the Board.The Board had no part in its preparation beyond commissioning itand approving the consultants proposed to collaborate with Dr.Stearns. We made no suggestions or changes. We gave full freedomto the author and his consultants.

Another thing the report is not: it is not to be either a targeta club. The Board has chosen to now share this report with the

ublic in the expectation that our own consideration of these prob-lems can be aided by the thinking expressed by an informed public._^

This brings us to the point where we should tell you how we intendto proceed in dealing with matters considered by the report. First,because the report is a technical document, we plan to sponsorseveral sessions at which the Board will attempt to explain thescope and purpose of the report, the methods used and the limita-tions inherent in an educational study of this kind. Second, theBoard will continue its own study, seeking public advice beforetaking any action and initiating recommendations just as soon asis feasible. If we were not involved in a law suit, we could speakfreely on all phases of the problem at hand. It should be appre-ciated, however, by all segments of the public that the Board atthis moment is limited in what it can properly say about specificproposals in the report and any possible recommendations it maymake by the fact that it is involved in litigation. As you allknow, we were threatened with litigation and this has happened,and the Board's Attorney is answering them with orderly legal process.

Q*?


Clearly, this limits severely what can be said. I am sure that Ispeak for all residents of Englewood in expressing the hope thatour community will soon be out from under this cloud and we canagain calmly proceed with solving our educational problems for thebest interest of all children of Englewood.

The President announced that a public meeting would be held at AcademicHall on Monday, March 19th, for a discussion of Part I of the report, andthat Professor Robert Wood of M. I. T,, one of the consultants, would bepresent. At that time, the date of a second public meeting would beannounced.

Because of the limited number of copies of the report, "Englewood - ItsPeople and Its Schools", available at this time, they were distributed onlyto representatives of various organizations. As soon as an additionalsupply is obtained, they will be released to individuals.

Englewood is capable of facing, up to and solving whatever problemswe may have new or in the future. You may be assured that yourBoard of Education is actively pursuing its responsibility todetermine what program is the best for all of our children, despitethe fact that we are involved in litigation.

Because the litigation is a very serious matter that concerns us all,we have asked Judge Lebson, the Board's Attorney, to summarize whatis happening in court.

Judge Lebson reported that the Board of Education had filed a request fora dismissal of the suit that has been brought against the Board in theFederal Court, on the ground that the plaintiffs had not exhausted theiradministrative remedies by first appealing to the State Commissioner ofEducation. The motion was argued by counsel before the Court today. TheJudge has reserved decision in the matter. That decision will be eitherthat the case should be dismissed as we contend or that the case will beretained by the Court, thus opening testimony and further court proceedingsso that the Court can determine whether the plaintiffs have a proper causeof action or not.

Judge Lebson also reported on the question raised at a previous meetingpertaining to the ownership of the property on Engle Street, to the effectthat the property is owned by the Board of Education.

The Vice President read the following statement:

In April, 1961, the Board of Education directed the Superintendentof Schools to conduct a study in depth of enrollment trends inEnglewood as they might affect future classroom needs. The primarypurpose of this study was to help the Board to determine whetherthe soon-to-be vacated school buildings on Engle Street would berequired for educational purposes after completion and occupancy ofthe new Junior High School. The Superintendent was authorized toobtain the help of two consultants to assist him in the design andconduct 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 situationits attention. At a special meeting in September, held jointly withrepresentatives of various groups including IMAA.CP and the UrbanLeague, the Board agreed to include consideration of this matter ofracial imbalance in the Superintendent's depth study. At that timea third consultant recommended by the N.AACP was retained by theBoard to assist the Superintendent.

After a period of intensive work, the Superintendent with the helpof the consultants completed his report February 28, 1962 and imme-diately delivered it to the Board. Soon afterward the Board madethe report available without charge to individuals and groups inthe community who requested copies. Two formal hearings about thereport were held in which many members of the community participatedand expressed their views. Board members also participated infor-mally in a number of smaller meetings during the academic year in anattempt to obtain a better understanding of community thinking aboutschool matters.

The Board has diligently studied the report, has digested a greatnumber of suggestions and recommendations from other sources andis grateful to many of you for the excellent ideas that have beenadvanced to the Board members. In addition, Board members alsopursued thinking of their own; during the past two and a half monthsthe Board has met almost continuously—evenings, Saturdays and Sun-days—on this and allied Board problems. It soon became apparentto all the members that no easy or quick solutions to the issuesdescribed were available or possible. Indeed, there were many ques-tions about how the issues themselves should be defined.

Nevertheless, the Board has arrived at certain determinations whichit should like to communicate promptly to the public:

1. The Board reaffirms that its primary obligation and respon-sibility is to provide the best possible education for each child inthe public school system. The Board has steadfastly held to thisprinciple in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

2. The Board reaffirms its unqualified and vigorous oppositionto discrimination for or against any individual on grounds of race,color, creed or religion.

With these basic principles in mind, the Board has carefully evalu-ated the Superintendent's report, as well as the many other sugges-tions and plans laid before it by interested members of thecommunity, and has reached the following conclusions:

1. The "neighborhood school" system of assigning children tothe schools nearest their homes is a sound and logical policy. Thispolicy should be followed until it can be demonstrated that a cleareducational advantage results from employment of some other systemof school assignment or some modification of the neighborhood schoolpolicy.

2. Elementary education in Englewood can profit by the employ-ment of new and imaginative approaches to teaching that have beenproved to be effective. The Board has long been interested in neweducational techniques and how they might be applied to improveelementary education in Englewood. The Board is particularly con-cerned that culturally deprived children in the public schools be

••••

Board of Education -7-lYIinutes, May 14, 1962

given every opportunity to develop to their full potential. TheBoard also believes that encounters between children of differentraces, colors, creeds and religions at the elementary level canbe educationally valuable to them and desirable from the standpointof the community.

The Board therefore proposes to initiate a program for the improve-ment of elementary education for the coming school year. The programwill begin with the setting up of a demonstration school at theformer Junior High School at 11 Engle Street. The classes composingthe school will constitute a new departure in elementary educationand an attempt will be made to have each class composed of White andNegro children in a proportion reflecting roughly the proportion ofNegroes and Whites in the community. The purpose of having such amixture is not to achieve a "mixture" for its own sake, but to pro-vide all the children who participate an opportunity to learn notonly from their lessons but from each other. To determine how suchclasses can be conducted so as to permit each child to progress athis own proper rate and to be stimulated to do his best work, is oneof a number of challenging questions that such a demonstration schoolcan help to answer.

It is intended that the demonstration school will pioneer in the useof modern and imaginative approaches to teaching elementary children.Such techniques as team teaching, teaching machines, ungradedclasses, special audio-visual aids, etc. will be used where indicated,Language laboratories also will be set up. The Board is seekingmonetary support from Foundations to help this project grow andachieve stature. Attendance at the demonstration school will bevoluntary and children from all the elementary schools will be per-mitted to participate in the school to the limit of its capacity.However, such a school, since it is to begin in the Fall, neces-sarily must start as a pilot project, and develop further as itssuccess is made manifest to the Board and the community. The Boardintends to initiate this school out of current funds. If additionalfunds are needed, the Board will make a request to the Board ofSchool Estimate.

The demonstration school plan was first proposed by a Board memberand discussed at a Board meeting in March of 1962. Because of theobvious excellence of the suggestion, the Board was immediatelyimpressed by its advantages and on April 1 the plan was discussedwith Dr. Robert Wood of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, oneof the consultants to the depth study. On April 20, 1962, the planwas presented to the Dean of an outstanding Graduate School of Edu-cation and from this arrangements were made for a meeting which willtake place tomorrow between the Board members and representatives ofthis University.

On May 5, 1962, the Board also requested the Superintendent toprepare a detailed preliminary plan for implementing the demonstra-tion school this Fall with a tentative budget. Since this plan

Board of Education•Ylinutss, May 14, 1962

-8-

still requires revision and refinement the Board is unable to providethe details at this time. However, complete plans will be madeavailable as soon as possible.

Community support of ithis demonstration school is of paramountimportance to insure the success of the program. Members of theBoard are hopeful that citizens of the community who are interestedin promoting outstanding public education and better human relationswill join with the Board in making the demonstration school work.It is to be expected that the experience gained from the demonstra-tion school will help the elementary school program throughout theCity.

In the report, "Englewood- Its People, Its Schools," it is suggestedthat the Engle Street property be temporarily retained in order thateducational programs designed to answer certain important unansweredquestions be instituted. The Board agrees with this suggestion.The Board has also carefully considered each of the proposals listedand briefly described in the depth study and has concluded that theplan for the demonstration school is the most responsive answer tothe' challenge facinq our community's school system.

As you know, the parents of nine children have brought an action inthe Federal Court against the Englewood Board of Education, Dr. HarryL. Stearns, Superintendent of Schools, and the State Commissioner ofEducation, That motion was argued by counsel before the Court onApril 9 and there is reason to believe that a decision will be forth-coming within the next two weeks.

That decision will be either that the case should be dismissed as wascontended or that the case will be retained by the Court, thus open-ing testimony and further court proceedings so that the Court candetermine whether the plaintiffs have a proper cause of action or not.

The Board would have preferred to withhold its plan until the Courthands down its ruling, however, because of the tremendous communityinterest in this problem and because of the need to move aheadrapidly 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 wouldbest be served by making this announcement tonight.

The Board strongly believes that the demonstration school willprovide a setting in which certain problems that have beset elemen-tary education in Englewood may be attacked with vigor and imagina-tion. The Board believes that with community support this schoolwill succeed and in the years ahead the school system will gain newapproaches to elementary education which will enthusiastically bereceived because they will have been demonstrated to be educationallyvaluable.

On motion made, seconded and carried, a public meeting of the Board ofEducation will be held on Thursday, June 23, 1962, at Englewood AcademicHall 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 itwould set up a Demonstration School next September at the old JuniorHigh School, 11 Engle Street. It stated that the DemonstrationSchool would be integrated with children from all sections of theCity. This school would explore the efficacy of a number of thenewer techniques used in elementary education and would be on avoluntary basis. The Board further stated that should there be aninsufficient number of applicants to set up any classes, graded orungraded, with the optimum proportion of Negro and white students,then it may be assumed that the proposal is not acceptable to thecommunity, and the plan should be abandoned. On June 5th, the Boardsent out 2,000 questionnaires to parents of children in the elemen-tary schools. We are tabulating the answers to that questionnaireto ascertain what the community's response is. At this time we onlyhave 20% returned. Should the trend evidenced from the meager re-turns at hand continue, it would appear that the Demonstration Schoolas presented by the Board of Education does not meet with the approvalof 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 thefinal determination.

A letter, dated Way 24, 1962, was received from Mayor Austin N. Volkadvising that he had appointed Mr. Warren L. Leu/is as a member of the Boardof 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 anddevoted association with the problems of the schools of the City ofEnglewood and it is with considerable regret that the Board of Edu-cation acknowledges notice of his decision to retire, both as a memberof 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 Presi-dent of various Parent-Teacher Associations. He served as Presidentof the Liberty School Parent-Teacher Association and as President ofthe Parent-Teacher Association Council at various times.

During all of that time, he spent a great deal of time and putforth tremendous effort toward the problems of the children, theirparents and the teachers in bettering the progress of educationwithin the City of Englewood. He constantly brought to the atten-tion of the Board of Education, for its consideration, many splendidsuggestions, ideas and views. Some years later, the Mayor of theCity of Englewood appointed Mr. Kiss as a member of the Board ofEducation. Throughout his many years of service on the Board, helent much of his time and devoted strenuous effort toward helpingsolve the problems that had presented themselves. Later, he wasrecognized for his devotion and service by being elected and re-elected President of the Board of Education.

During Mr. Kiss1 term of service, both the Donald A. Quarles Schooland the Englewood Junior High School and Englewood Acadsmic Hallwere planned and built. The successful completion of these buildingsis due in a large measure to the individual attention givsn by Mr.Kiss. He was constantly on the site of construction. He pursued thecontractor and architect and guided the completion of these buildingsso that they would be ready in time for school use. These buildingswill forever stand as a monument to the dedicated service which Mr.Kiss gave forth.

Besides the erection and completion of these buildings, many otherimportant, involved and complicated problems presented themselvesinsofar as the Board of Education was concerned. It became neces-sary for Mr, Kiss to devote days, evenings, weekends and all kindsof extra time in order to help resolve the problems at hand. Thiswas done with a great sacrifice on his part toward his health and

siness.
