Father Paul - Educati on
Every school district has been asked by the State to set up a
committee representative of the community, comprising a1l economic
backgrounds; they are asked to come up with a type of curriculum
on the subject of HR that the teachers who are to be certified musttake. Distri ct 622 now has such a committee. Has met three times.
Are in the process of coming up with a type of program that would be
appl icable to teachers but whi ch would hopeful ly involve the adminis-tration. This group can serve both inter and intracultural interests.
See a real need for both moral and financial support from the schooldistrict.
are any members of this committee on 622 school staff?
Ch arl es Sp i e ker, Dan Richter.
Also include teacher from Harmony, six students, two staff members
from Hill-Murray and two students from North High; several people
from the community. Have to broaden themselves; just do not know
what direction they should go. CalIed in people who work on HR
program within school districts and those that conduct HR programs
within the schools. Will try to consolidate plans with five
county school districts; pool their thoughts; some distri cts could
go through the motions and not come up with anything that would be
effe cti ve; mus t watchdog this. Ul timately it wi l1 rely on school
district. People in that district wil'l have to put pressure on.
a. Has the commi ttee issued any minutes, bulletins etc. Can we
get f u1 I a cces s to proceedings?A. This is a "working" committee; it would be very difficult at
this moment to give any type of report on what has been done;
no cohesi veness as yet.
