Crosby residents press governor on school desegregation
Crosby citizens including Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Spence and Jimmie Petrick traveled to Austin to meet Governor Smith amid concerns over district duplication of facilities in the two community system. Spence and Petrick sit on the school board and Mrs. Bailess spoke of an event arranged by Trustee Oliver Thompson. The governor signaled opposition to forced busing as Crosby weighs its desegregation challenges and potential accreditation changes after January. The Desegregation Center proposes moving grades across Crosby campuses with portable classrooms and counselors. The Crosby district, which objects to HEW plans, awaits Judge Ingraham’s outline of desegregation procedures as federal efforts continue. Two Crosby women delivered petitions supporting desegregation legislation to Washington.
