Allen Dismisses Charges
Against Nasierowski
James E. Allen, Jr., Commissioner of Education, dismissed the appeal made by 38 ap-pellants,
who through a petition, sought the removal of Edward F. Nasierowski of Lynbrook
as a trustee of the Malverne School Board. The appellants petition presented by attorney Paiil
Zuber, sought Nasierowski's removal on the grounds of his campaign strategy and allegations
as to his convictions concerning segregation.
Nasierowski was elected to a
three year term on the school board
last year in a heated campaign in
which he defeated Dr. Lloyd De-laney,
a resident of Lakeview.
l i en The State Department of Educa-
'"'^tion and Commissioner Allen had
been criticized by a number of or-ganizations
and individuals, includ-ing
this newspaper, for the long de-lay
in taking action on this case.
The petition was filed with the com-missioner
last November.
In rendering his decision, Com-missioner
Allen stated "It must he
noted tlmt tlie petition herein is not
verified" and that the appelants
"liave wliolly failed to prove their
unverified allegations by a pre-ponderance
of evidence."
Tlie decision went on to say "Un-der
tlie provision of Section 306 of
the Education Law, a board mem-
Cj^^^ber niiiy not be removed from ofTioe
^'unless he has been guilty of any
willful violation or neglect of duty
luuler this chapter, or any otlu^r act
ix-rtaining to common schools , . .
or willfully disobeying any dc^cision,
ordcu', rule or regulation of the
regents or of the commissioner of
education. The record before me
does not .show that respond(>nt's
statements or actions fall mider the
provisions of this section."
Allen also stated that the appel-lants
were "guilty of laches in not
having brought this appeal until
more than six months had elapsed
after the election campaign here in-lllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH^
and has received all of her edu-cation
in the Lynbrook school sys-tem.
The Lynbrook Chapter of A.F.S.
under the leadership of its presi-dent,
Mrs. Leonard Wagner, feels
singularly honored and proud in
having Judith selected by National
Headquarters of A.F.S. for this
scholarship.
Fireworks Illegal
Possession, sale, or use of fire-worics
in Lynbrook is against the
law.
This reminder was passed along
by Lynbrook Police Chief Walter
Waring who warned that firecrackers
were prohibited by state law and
village ordinances.
"Offenders will be aiTested and
prosecuted," said Waring. "Cases of
those under 16 years of age will be
handled by the Family Court. Fire-works
will not be tolerated."

The Lakeview Branch of the
NAACP, instituted a suit on behalf
of parents with children attending
the Woodfield Road School, charg-ing
that it was a de facto segregated
school. A committee was appointed
by State Education Commissioner
James E. Allen, Jr. to study these
charges. The committee recently
submitted their report to the com-missioner
in which they stated that
they • (the conimittee) found the
Woodfield Road School was in fact
"racially imbalanced," and offered
four proposals to correct the situ-ation.
The rally, according to Dr. De-laney,
is to demonstrate community
support for the committee's findings
and recommendations and to urge
Commissioner Allen to adopt the
proposals recommended by the com-mittee.
