Sarasota County school board approves staff changes and protests
The Sarasota County school board approved two teaching appointments and two resignations for South County with Jill Ann Klatt and Stephen W. Stottlemyer to teach social studies at Venice Junior High and Roy L. Siez Jr. to lead Junior ROTC at Venice High. Resignations include Maurice McDonald Jr. and James Langerfeld. An alleged ultimatum by Negro members of the Booker school integration committee led to William C. Robertson's resignation, prompting board criticism and calls to abolish or reform the committee. The district continues planning to phase out Amaryllis School as part of the integration plan and discusses alternatives to suspending students amid ADA funding concerns.
