Texas Employment Agency Halts Aid To School District
The Garland Texas Employment Commission office reports it is under orders from the U S Department of Labor to withhold aid from Richardson Independent School District for placing auxiliary staff such as custodians and bus drivers. The district faces a federal hearing with HEW over its desegregation compliance and has questioned the authority directing the withdrawal of TEC services. The move has created a staff shortage, prompting reliance on advertisements and part time student workers.
