Reopens School Issue See No Immediate Policy Reversal

Superintendent Thurston said it is practically certain the board will not rescind the regulation barring married women from teaching in district schools next month. He noted no other cases exist where married women are kept from teaching against their wishes and said action will await broader support for amendment while individual cases may be considered as they arise. A New York city board move revoking its ban on married teachers could prompt a similar shift in Washington within months, though not immediately.
