tions about school desegregation.

adopted in accordance with Title VI
of the Civil Kights Act of 1964 The
purpose of the desegregation plan is
to eliminate from our school system

and all other forms of discrimina
tion based on race, color, or na
tional origin.

riod.

other adult person acting as par
ent, is required to choose the school
the student will attend next school
year The choice period will begin
on Api 11 1, 1967 and close April 30,
1967.
3 Explanatory Letters and School
Choice Forms
On the first day of the choice
period, an explanatory letter and
this notice will be sent by first
class mail to the parent, or other
adult person acting as parent, of
each student then in the schools
who is expected to attend school
the following school year. A school
choice form will be sent with each
letter, together with a return en
velope addressed to the Superin
tendent. Additional copies of the
letter, this notice and the choice
for- are freely available to the
public at any school and at the
Superintendent’s office.
4 rteturnmg the Choice Forms
Parents and students, at their op

choice forms by hand to any school

office, at any time during the
30-day choice period. No preference

tional origin of the student is re
quested lor purposes of record
keeping required by the U. S. Of

criminate against the student.” Any
letter or other written communica
tion which identifies the student
and the school he wishes to attend
will be deemed just as valid as if
submitted on the choice form sup
plied by the school system. The
names of students and the schools

the plan will not be made public
by school officials.

8 Processing of Choices
1 No choice will be denied for any
reason other than overcrowding. In
cases where granting all choices for
any school would cause overcrowd
ing. the students choosing the
school who live closest to it will be
assigned to that school. Whenever
a choice is to be denied, overcrowd
ing will be determined by a uni
form standard applicable to all
schools in the system.
9. Notice of Assignment, Second
Choice
All students and their parents will
be promptly notified in writing of
their school assignments. Should
any student be denied his choice
because of overcrowding he will be
promptly notified and given a
choice among all other schools in
the system where space is available.
10. Students Moving Into the
Community
A choice of school for any stu
dent who will be new to the school
system may be made during the
spring 30-day choice period or at
any other time before he enrolls in
school. An explanatory letter, this
notice and the school choice form
will be given out for each new stu
dent as soon as the school system
knows about the student. At least
seven days will be allowed for the
return of the choice form when a
choice is made after the spring
30-day choice period. A choice must
be made for each student. No as
signment to any school can be made
unless a choice is made first.
11. Students Entering First Grade
The parent, or other adult person
acting as parent, of every child en
tering the first grade, is required
to choose the school his child will
attend. Choices will be made under
the same free choice process used
for students new to the school sys
tem in other grades, as provided in
paragraph 10.
12. Priority of Late Choices
No choice made after the end of
the spring 30-day choice period may
be denied for any reason other than
overcrowding. In the event of over
crowding, choices made during the
30-day choice period will have first
priority. Overcrowding will be de
termined by the standard provided
for in paragraph B. Any parent or
student whose first choice is denied
because of overcrowding will be
given a second choice in the man
ner provided for in paragraph 9.
13. Tests. Health Records and
Other Entrance Requirements
Any academic tests or other pro
cedures used in assigning students
in schools, grades, classrooms, sec
tions, courses of study, or for any
other purpose, will be applied uni
formly to all students without re
gard to race, color or national
origin. No choice of school will be
denied because of failure at the
time of choice to provide any health
record; birth certificate, or other
document. The student will be ten
tatively assigned in accordance with
the plan and the choice made, and
given ample time to obtain any re
quired document. Curriculum,
credit, and promotion procedure?
will not be applied in such away
as to hamper freedom of choice of
any student.
14. Choices Oner Made Cannot be
Altered
Once a choice has been submitted,
it may not be changed, even though
the choice period has not ended,
i'he choice is binding for the entire
school year to which it applies, ex
cept in the case of Ui compelling
hardship, i2i change of residence to
a place where another school is
closer, i3i the availability of a
school designed to lit the special
needs of a physically handicapped
student. <4i the availability at an-
other school of a course of study
required by the student, which is
not available at the school chosen.
15. All Other Aspects of Schools
Desegregated
All school-connected services, fa
cilities, athletics, activities and pro
grams are open to all on a de
segregated basis. A student attend
ing school for the first time on a
desegregated basis may not be sub
ject to any disqualification or wait
ing period for participation in ac
tivities and programs, including ath
letics, which might otherwise apply
because he is a transfer student. All
transportation furnished by the
school system will also operate on a
desegregated basis. Faculties will be
desegregated, and no staff member
will lose his position because of
race, color or national origin. This
includes any case where less stats
is needed.
16. Attendance Across School Sys
tem Lines
No arrangement will be made, or
permission granted, by this school
system for any students living in
the community it serves to attend
school in another school system,
where this would tend to limit de
segregation, or where the oppor
tunity is not available to all stu
dents without regard to race, color
or national origin. No arrangement
will be made, no permission granted,
by this school system for any stu
dents living in another school sys
tem to attend school in this system,
where this would tend to limit de
segregation, or where the oppor
tunity is not available to all stu
dents without regard to race, color
or national origin.
17. Violations To Be Reported
It is a violation of our desegrega
tion plan for any school official to
influence or coerce any person in
the making of a choice or to
threaten any person with penalties
or promise favors for any choice
made. It is also a violation of Fed
eral regulations for any person to
intimidate. threaten. coerce, re
taliate or discriminate against any
individual for the purpose of in
terfering with the free making of
a choice of school. Any person
having any knowledge of any vio
lation of these prohibitions should
report the facts immediately by
mail or phone to the Equal Educa
tion Opportunities Program, U. S.
Office of Education, Washington.
D C., 20202 (telephone 202-962-0333'.
The name of any person reporting
anv violation will not be disclosed
without his consent. Any other vio
lation of the desegregation plan or
other discrimination based on race,
color, or national origin in the
school system is also a violation of
Federal requirements, and should
likewise be reported. Anyone with
a complaint to report should first
bring it to the attention of local
school officials, unless he feels it
would not be helpful to do so. If
local officials do not correct the
violation promptly, any person fa
miliar with the facts of the viola
tion should report them immediately
to The U. S Office of Education at
the above address or phone number.
THE OLD TIMER
From Mrs. Mary C. Neubauer,
Chicago, Illinois: 1 remember as
a child when my mother made
home-made soap. We children
carried many pails of water and
poured it into a hogshead of
wood ashes saved during the
winter.
’lhe water filtered through the
ashes and emerged as brown
liquid through a spout in the
bottom of the barrel. 'Phis was
the natural lye mother used for
making soap. She started a fire
under an iron kettle of pork
rinds saved from bacon. She had
soaked the rinds and when the
water was hot, she poured the
lye into the kettle, carefully stir
ring the mixture. When it
reached the proper consistency,
mother allowed the fire to die
down. When the soap cooled,
she cut it into pieces and set it
out on a board to dry.
The liquid left in the kettle
was allowed to stand and
thicken, turning into anexcellent
"soft soap" which we used in
washing clothes, floors, etc.
In later years, mother used a
commercial lye for soap making
— but I have never forgot how
fascinating it was to see the
brown, natural liquid lye ap
pear from the wood ashes.
(Send contribution! to this column to The Old
Timer, Box 639, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.)
SUNOAr'sJ^SIRMON
Quite often parents who say
"no” to their children are met
with this response, "I don’t see
why I can’t do it. All my friends
are doing it.”
It doesn’t matter whether the
subject is riding around in the
family car at night, dating,
staying out until all hours —
children see nothing wrong in
doing the things they see other
children doing.
By the same token, did you
ever stop to consider that chil
dren also observe the things
that adults do?
W’hat example do you set for
your children? For the young
people with whom you come in
contact on a day-to-day basis?
Surely, you do some things they
understand are purely adult
activities. But, do you do them
in an adult manner?
