Limestone County teachers oppose integration plan report
A federal court order for immediate integration would require hiring twenty eight teachers or spending about 140000, Limestone County Supt C S Pettus told Dr Ernest Stone. Pettus says how many teachers can be reassigned is limited by losses and reluctance among white and Negro staff. He notes progress with six Negro teachers in white schools and several integrated programs, while 16 percent of Negro students and 50 percent of white students attend previously all white or integrated settings.
