Add Bill o t Speclql Session
State Senator Norman F. Lent-(,R. East Rockaway) has urg-ed
Governor Nelson A. RoqkefeHer to add his bill to outlaw the
assignment of school pupils on the brasis of race, creed or color,
to the agenda for the Special Session of the Legislature which
convened yesterday.
In liis letter to tlie Governor, Lent
said, "The U.S. Supreme, Court de-cision
in Brown vs. Board of Educa-tion
is beinfj; violated rij^ht hero in
New York State. In 1953, Convinis-sii)
ner Allen ordered the implemen-tation
of a Princeton-tyxie plan in
I ' E S D No. 12. Had this ruling not
l)een blocked, School District 12
would have witnessed an almost in-credible
tlisruption in the education-al
processes of some 1500 elemen-tar\'
school children from kinder-j^
aren and up with Ne<;ro and
white cliildren passing each otlier
by on foot or in ijusses in opposite
directitms in order to reach far-olf
designated schools."
Senator Lent continued, "Both the
Board of Regents and tlie Connnis-sioner
of Education have, of late,
issued releases nring the Legislatures
l(j take a 'hands od' attilu<le with
respect to tin's issue, This position
c(»nipletel\- ignori's the acluiil facts
anil is grossly misleading. The
School Board in Ul'^SJ) No. 12 was
ordered to implement the Princeton
i'lan, completely against iheir bet-ter
judgmimt.
'"i'hc peoi)le of this Stale will not
tolerate the sorting of youngsters
by skin color. My bill, SI 4519, SP
4752 An Act to Amend th(> Edii-calion
Law, in relation to assign-m(;
nt of students to public schools
anti in public sehools, will present
all snch discrimination by adm\nis-trative
officials. The Legislature
should h aw the opiiortunity to con-sider
this legislation at the Special
Session."

of District 12 for approval at the Annual Election May 5, pro-vides
for the expenditiue of $3,130,300, an increase of $281,399

change in salary schedules for professional and other employees,
and the addition of two teachers and one full time and one part
time clerk to the staff.

The entire budget was explained

f)ther members of the Board at a
public meeting on the budget h<,'ld
on April 7. After the discussion of
the proposed budget that evening

every portion of the budget and de-leted
from it a total of $20,522;
These deletions were nia^le in \'ari-ous
areas of the budget, particu-larly
in repairs to buildings which
were delayed to a later time.
The exact tax rate cannot be de-tennined
definitely imtil the assess-ed
valuation of real property in the
district is announeed on August 1
by the Nassau County Boiud of As-sessors.
Based on estimate.s avail-able
at the present tinie the tax rate
will increase from $5.69 to !?6.37.
