C., has a population 169,000 and a police force of 169 men. More than half of this force was assigned to duty in and around Stratford Junior High School on the morning of February 2, 1959, the day that time ran out for "massive resistance.” At 8:35 a.m. four Negro children walked unescorted across a large playfield and entered the school. Classes began at 8:45 a.m. A t 10:30 a.m., I was able to tell newspapermen that "Arlington’s experience this morning demonstrates conclusively that no dis­ orders occur where public officials arc honestly determined that there will be no breach of the peace. Rabble rousers are basically cowards and fade away when confronted by authorities in a posture of dignity and quiet confidence.” This, I believe, is the real reason why desegregation in Arlington was accom­ plished without incident. This is why there was no excitement, why the assign­ ment turned out to be a dull one for press, radio and television. The lunatic fringe had made threats, had promised to picket, had said it would distribute hate literature. It did not appear. Report­ ers made up most of the crowd that morning and their number dwindled as the day wore on. We made it clear in words that we would tolerate no breach of the peace; rl in g t o n , A we also took elaborate precautions to back up our words. Since last summer our police had been taking special train­ ing and instruction in the handling of "civil disturbance.” On the morning that the school was integrated pursuant to the decree of the federal courts, our police, wearing GI battle helmets painted white, and equipped with gas grenades and masks, batons and other riot equip­ ment, were deployed around the entire perimeter of the school grounds. Fifteen plain clothesmen, mostly from our Ju ­ of venile Bureau, were on duty in the school building. Access to the school and the -------------- T h e A u t h o r -------------Mr. Krupsaw had an insider's view of the Arlington story.

It soon became evident to Arlington authorities that we had "over-prepared.” The next morning the contingent assigned to protect the children and the school was reduced from 90 men to 60. The following day, February 4, the sixty were cut to thirty and the next day to fifteen. On Friday, February 6, the last school day of the week, all officers were removed except for two plainclothes officers in­ side the school and motorized units patroling the school area. The Arlington desegregation story was Qff the front pages on the fourth day. In less than 100 hours we had become only second section news. This exceeded our best hopes and was a good measure of our success. We are not in the least sorry that we were over-prepared. And we know that we will have a continuing problem for some time. But we are confident that we can handle our problem ourselves— without interference from state militia or paratroopers with fixed bayonets. surrounding area was limited to pupils and teachers. Press, radio and television reporters were barred from school prem­ ises. Any carnival character that might have attached to the event was eliminated. Photographers and reporters did some­ what better from their standpoint after T h e sm ooth and happy passing of school was dismissed; they could stop and talk with children after they had left Arlington’s D-Day was the result of much more than just police planning. the restricted area around Stratford.

Y. comers through the hallways to the vari­ ous classes. The orientation activities and get-togethers were not sponsored by school authorities. They knew of this only through the newspapers. S in c e litig a tio n was pending almost to the moment that school opened Monday morning, the school administrative au­ thorities participated only in the me­ chanics of the necessary arrangements. They conferred, of course, with the county manager and police officials regarding arrangements for the big day. The su­ perintendent of schools conferred with the principal of the junior high school about the enrollment and placing of the Negro pupils. The superintendent assigned the school system’s public relations offi­ cer to Stratford and she sent informa­ tion over to the Administration Building for release to the press. Claude M. Richmond is the principal of Stratford Junior High School. He talked to each of the 7th grade sections, giving only the facts, and told the stu­ dents what was expected of them in terms of behavior. The children were told to discuss this with their parents. Attend­ ance in school on "opening” day was a matter for parental decision. Mr. Rich­ mond also spoke to his 8th and 9th grades at assemblies and discussed all facets of the problem with his faculty. In assign­ ing the children, he gave careful consider­ ation to the makeup of the group and to the teachers concerned. He talked to the four Negro children and to some of their parents about arrangements for en­ rollment, programs and schedules. The superintendent issued a rule (with the approval of the school board) that the admission of Negro students would not automatically constitute a valid rea­ son for transfer of students to another school or to another section within Strat­ ford. He also ruled that any student cre­ ating a disturbance would automatically be suspended and would be readmitted only after a conference with the child’s parents. Principal Richmond sent these regulations home by the children. So w e are now, we hope, over the hump. Because the Governor of Virginia, J. Lindsay Almond, Jr., is a responsible public official and a man of courage, be­ cause Arlington authorities made it clear that no disorder would be tolerated, our community was able to master its crisis. Although we are, in one sense, a suburb of Washington, D. C., we are still Vir­ ginians, and most Virginians do not wel­ come integration. But that was not the point. Responsible Virginians and Arlingtonians wanted no Little Rock. And there was no Little Rock. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With approximately 75 percent of Negro consumer expenditures going for food, housing, clothing and furniture, this would sug gest that $4 billion is reserved for a series of important miscelleanous expenditures.

It is understood that such a request shall be related to the student’s appearance before that judge or before a judge of a similar court in another jurisdiction and shall be based on the student's court involvement. 2. Procedure a. The Court requests reassignment of the student through the office of the receiving principal. Request for assignment is accompanied by detailed background information which shows the need for spe cial placement and will also serve to give the receiving school the information necessary to assist the student effectively. b. The receiving principal reviews the request and sends a copy of his/her response to the court and to the Director of Student Ser vices and Programs and to the Director of Assessment. F. Instructional Transfers/Alternate Course Selections 1 . Instructional Transfers - Elementary and Intermediate Schools a. Policy Parents of students enrolled in elementary and intermediate schools may request transfer to another elementary school or intermediate school for instructional reasons when, in the opinion of the parents and the principals of the schools involved, such a transfer would be in the student's best interest and provided that: (1) The transfer will not raise the percentage of students attending the receiving school from other attendance areas for instruction reasons in excess of 4$ for elementary schools (K-6) and 4$ for intermediate schools (based on September 30 student membership report). This percentage constraint is applied to all students on instructional trans fers, not just those that occur in any one particular school year. (2) The parents assume the responsibility for special transporta tion arrangements if such are necessary. (3) These special assignments may be terminated if, in the opin ion of the principal or the parents involved, it is creating a situation harmful to the student or other students. (4) The transfer does not cause the receiving school to exceed, or continue to exceed, its standard accommodation level. (5) The transfer does not change the percentage of black students in either the sending or receiving school to fall below 7% or to exceed 19% of the school's student population. In those schools where the percentage of black students was not within the 7-19$ range at the time of the desegregation plan's approval, then the percentage figure at the time is Page 6 of 8 �ASD 25-6.01 (Revised) October, 1985 the percentage of black students that cannot be exceeded as a result of the transfer. The percentage figure to be used is that reported in the most recent Civil Rights Report. (6) This policy is not applicable to the H.B. Woodlawn, Page, Drew, or Jackson schools since they function as special instructional units. (7) Each transfer request must stand on its own merit. b. Procedures (D Requests for new instructional transfers for the upcoming school year may not be submitted prior to January 1 . (2) Principal of the sending school will act on requests during the month of February. (3) Principal of the receiving school will act on requests during the month of March. - w Requests received after February 1 will be acted on by the sending and receiving principals by March 31. (5) The new request for transfer must be made by the parents in writing to both the principals of the sending and receiving schools. Coordinating the processing of the transfer request and notification, in writing, to all parties involved of its disposition, is the responsibility of the principal of the sending school. Transfers are contingent upon agreement of both principals. (6) No student transfers will take place during April, May, and June. (7) Renewal instructional transfer requests must be reviewed each year during the month of April. This responsibility rests with the principal of the receiving school. The parent of the student and the principal of the sending school must be advised on the status of each transfer during the month of April. (8) Use of a Waiting List: Each school principal will maintain a list of requested transfers. Those requests longest out standing should be acted on first after the renewals have been determined. (9) Annually, the principals of each elementary and intermediate school will report to the Director of Assessment by June 1 , the status of Instructional Transfers on the Annual Instruc tional Transfer Report.

Speaker for Ken nedy will be H.L. Wofford, Jr., associ ate professor of law at Notre Dame, on leave of absence since May to serve on Kennedy’s staff.

CCSP Offers Social Service Opportunities Unitarians looking for an opportunity to carry out their principles in social action are invited to come to the meet ing, get acquainted at the 7:30 coffee hour, and consider joining this inter racial, inter-faith organization. The Council's constitution states as its purpose "to promote the full develop ment of democratic principles in human relations." It studies, discusses and acts on social problems and inconsis tencies in civil liberties. CCSP not only has speakers and d is cussions on these topics at i t s regular meetings the fourth Sunday o f each month, i t also has representatives at County School Board and other hearings, and a ctiv ely promotes i t s proposals. CCSP Projects Currently, the Group has been attempt ing to get a court order requiring the School Board to let them hold integrated meetings in school buildings, which led the School Board to (at least temporari ly) reverse its policy; opposing a Southside Freeway which, among other disadvantages, would displace a large number of Negro families; and looking 7/ into high school vocational training / _______ opportunities for Negro students.

Dinners May Replace Bazaar In place of the church's annual ba zaar which raises about $2,500 for the church budget, Helene Smith, Board liai son to the Bazaar Committee is tenta tively considering holding three dinners during the year. These dinners would encourage fellowship as well as raise money. Christmas items made by the Women's Alliances would also be sold for the bazaar fund, either at the dinners or on a separate day. To make this, or any other fund raising project substituted for the bazaar, a success, Mrs. Smith needs sug gestions and volunteers. As yet she has been unable to find a Bazaar Com mittee chairman. Those willing to help in this effort to encourage fellowship as well as raise money are invited to call Mrs. Smith at JE 2-761*5.

Nauck community grades 1-6, 7-8, 9-12 attendance.
