Head Start Setup Faces Teacher Diversity Debate
Lubbock trustees voted to hire only qualified certified teachers for Head Start while intensifying the search for Mexican American instructors. The district seeks a 202 000 OEO grant to run classes for 300 students, with eight of 50 teachers expected to be Mexican American but officials contest the quota. Some staff argue bilingual teachers are needed as many pupils lack English fluency. A separate directive transfers bus pupils from a Negro neighborhood to a predominantly white neighborhood for summer classes.
