Desegregation of Faculty And Other Staff: The School Board shall an nounce and implement the fol lowing policies: The principals, teachers, teacher-aides and other staff who work directly with children at a school shall be so assigned for the school year 1970-71 and subsequent years that in no case will the racial composition of a staff indicate that a school is intended for Negro students or white students. For the 1970- 71 school year the district shall assign the staff described above so that the ratio of Negro to white teachers in each school, and the ratio of other staff in each, are substantially the same as each such ratio is to the teachers and other staff, res pectively, in the entire school system. In determining the rat io, exceptions may be made for specialized faculty positions. The school district shall, to the extent necessary to carry out this desegregation plan, dir ect members of its staff as a condition of continued employ ment to accept new assign ments. Staff members who work dir ectly with children, and profes sional staff who work on the administrative level will be hir ed, assigned, promoted, paid, demoted, dismissed, and other wise treated without regard to race, color, or national origin, except to the extent necessary to correct discrimination. If there is to be a reduction in the number of principals, teachers, teacher-aides, or other professional staff employed by the school district which will result in a dismissal or demot ion of any such staff members, the staff member to be dis missed or demoted must be sel ected on the basis of objective and reasonable non-discrimina- tory standards from among all the staff of the school district. In addition if there is any such dismissal or demotion, no staff vacancy may be filled through recruitment of a person of a race, color, or national origin different from that of the in dividual dismissed or demoted until each displaced staff mem ber who is qualified has had an opportunity to fill the vacancy and has failed to accept an offer to do so. School Construction And Site Selection The size and location of new school buildings and additions to existing buildings can signi ficantly affect desegregation now and in the future. All school construction, school consolidation, and site selection (including the location of any temporary classrooms) in this system shall be done in a man ner which will prevent the re currence* of the dual school structure once this desegrega tion plan is implemented. Majority to Minority Transfer Policy: Whenever there shall exist schools containing a majority of Negro students, this school dis trict shall permit a student (Ne gro or white) attending a school in which his race is in the maj ority to choose to attend an other school where space is available, and where his race is in a minority. Attendance Outside System Of Residence: If the School District grants transfers to students living in the district for their attendance at public schools outside the district, or if it permits trans fers into the district of stu dents who live outside the dis trict, it shall do so on a non- discriminatory basis, except that it shall not consent to transfers where the cumulative effect will reduce desegregation in either district or reinforce the dual school system.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY To all who may be thinking about retiring the social secur ity office offers these helpful hints: Inquire before you retire—to get the facts you need from a social security specialist; facts that mav help you in making your retirement decision, as well as in filing your applica tion for benefits later. Contact the Social Security of fice three months before you retire, if you’re 62 or over. Also get in touch with our office three months before you’re 62", if you’re already “retired”, or three months before age 60 if you’re a widow. By all means contact the Social Security Of fice before you’re 65 to file for Medicare, even if you’re still working. You’ll need to have certain evidence or proofs to complete your claim. In the absence of an original birth certificate or baptismal certificate, other old records or documents such as a census record, family Bible record, or old insurance policy may be acceptable as evidence of your age. Also a marriage certificate and birth certificates of children may be needed. The social security employee will tell you if any additional evi dence is required. Have your social security card (and also the cards, or verified correct numbers, of your wife or children for whom applica tions are filed), and the correct dates of birth, marriage, or death. Also have your latest W-2 slip (statement of earnings and tax es withheld) or, if you were self-employed, a copy of your Federal income tax return.Be able to tell us how much you have earned to date in the year of retirement, and the expected total earnings for the year.
