Committee For Better Schools Asks
Board For Consideration Of Report
On Thursday evening the execu-
tive committee of the Citiens Com-
mittee for Better Schools reempha-
sized their concern for quality edu-
cation in the Dallas School Dis-
trict. The following letter has been
sent 'to the School Board with the |
report requested by the Board:
“On December 11, 1962, the Citi-
zens Committee for Better Schools
submitted a report to the board in
support of portions of Dr. Mellman’s
public like that, but she made her-'!
requests for additional staff as part
'of his program for improving the
| quality of education in this district.
|
| At the following school board meet-
ing there was no discussion and
| almost no mention of this report,
‘and of its recommendations.
| “The executive committee of the
' Citizens’ Committee for Better
| Schools feels very strongly that these ,
recommendations and Dr. Mellman’s
entire program are extremslly im-
portant to the future of the school
| amine in detail this report and to
| onside acting on these recom-
mendations.
| “As indicated in the report we
| have carefully taken into consider-
ation the cost of implementing these
| recommendations and the conse-
| quent necessity of increasing taxes,
"and we are firmly convinced that
the expenditures are a necessary in-
vestment.
“An additional copy of the report
is attached for your convenience.
We urge you to utilize it.
“Sincerely yours,
“Citizens Committee for
“Better Schools,
“George Jacobs, Chairman.”
Mr. Jacobs expressed his willing-
ness to attend the next school board
meeting to discuss this report:
Report of the Citizens Committee
for Better Schools to the Profes-
sional Committee of the School
Board of Education of the Dallas
Area Schools.
The following professional and
non-professional additions to the
Disérict Staff, have been recom-
| mended and requested by Dr. Mell-

No definite action was taken on |
this request by the School Board at |

ance and offered the services of their
committee to the School Board if
‘they should desire to | make use

shiny new orange farm machinery

caught many an eye as it displayed
the merchandise for more than a

As a result, a meeting between
representatives of the Citizens Com-~
mittee, Professional Committee of:
the Board of Education, and Dr.'
Mellman was held on January 8,
1963. Members of the Faculty were
on ‘hand to give a detailed explana-

understanding that a bookkeeper-
clerk for the Administration Office
will receive approval of the board.
It» is the opinion of the Committee
that Advanced Placement Teaching
represents a substantial contribution
to balanced programming for stu-
dents of the above average range
of ability, and should be instituted
at the junior and senior high schools
as soon as the professional help can
be obtained. ) =
At the present time, elementary
art is being taught under a handi-
cap. It is suggested that additional
teaching time be scheduled for the
elementary art program, and that
the hiring of an art ‘teacher for the
secondary level be delayed until ade-
quate classroom space is available.
The elementary music program
should be expanded to include a
stringed music instructor who can
also be assigned to enrich the sec-
ondary music program.
The elementary physical education
program is to be desired but is not
recommended at this time due ‘to
lack of facilities, and inability to
find a teacher trained in this field.
It is the understanding of this
Committee that the need for Home

should be referred to for additional
information.
It is recognized that financial and
space limitations of the school dis-
trict limit support of the superin-
tendent’s total request at this time,
however, we are convinced that for
the good of the future growth of
our community we cannot afford to
merely maintain our present quality
of education, but must continually
strive to improve it. Hiring these
professional employees is only the
first step in the overall ideal pro-
gram suggested by Dr. Mellman in
meetings last October with the Citi-
zens Committee. = (Copies of ‘these
programs are available.)
It is understood that increased
enrollment and mandated salary in-
creases will require additional ex-
penditures to hold status quo—and
that any increases in program qual-
ity such as recommended above will
require increased tax money to sup-
port it. This fact has been care-
fully considered in arriving at the
above recommendations.
Respectfully submitted,
Citizens Committee for
Better Schools,
George M. Jacobs, Chairman.
