"We are encouaged by the
determination with which you
and your Board have success-
full achieved integration of the
high school grades. This
gives us confidence that the
elementary grades can be
similarly integrated without
any dislocating effects. Whe-
ther the desegregation of the
remaining grades be carried
out by pairing, zoning, or any
other appropriate method is
a matter entirely within your
discretion in light of local
circumstances. It is impor-
tant, however, that action ap-
propriate to full desegre-
gation be taken effective by
the beginning of the coming
school year„. An acceptable
plan from you will, of course,
render formal legal action
unnecessary,"
Board members by mutual
consent agreed to pursue the
development of plans for in-
tegration In this manner;
Grades One through Five, to
be located on the Elementary
School Campus, J. M. Boone,
Principal; Grades Six through

Bradford have been discussed
Possibilities include spec-
ial education; adult education;
a splll-over from Rusk High
School, or any school, where
in the need might arise; and
the potential development of
a vocational-type trade
school.
"We have been aware for
several months that a deci-
sion had to be reached in this
matter of integration," com-
mented Supt. Martin. "Our
only choice was whether to
comply, or act independently
and risk the loss of federal
aid."
Federal funds involve some
$160,000 to Rusk Independent
School District.
This coveres expenditures
for special teaching and li-
brary materials, equipment,
seven teachers' aids, three
teachers and the entire Adult
Basic Education program,
which serves a four-county
area.

several key teaching positions
