Desegregation was the maior 'by- word of the school board's work during the past year. Due to Judge William M. Taylor's ruling, the Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Nolan Estes and the school board have worked to imple- ment the plan, logistically and to the satisfaction of as many people as pos- sible. Before the court ruling, the school board remained responsive to both the community and the Federal Govern-' ment. Dr. Estes formed the Tri-Ethnic Committee to deal with the racial prob- lems which will ultimately face us. New ideas came with the court rul- ing. The school board moved to imple- ment them along with several of their own ideas. Maiority to minority trans- fers, the LlFE Leadership Labs, and sev- eral other proiects were put into effect. Despite desegregation, the school board did not forget the seven priority goals for the i970's. They included in- dividualized instruction, community relations, early childhood education, vocational education, adequate financ- ing, staff development, and research and planning. The past year saw the seating of four new school board members. They are Eugene Smith, Jr., James E. Jen- nings, Harry M. Tunstall, and Tom F. Williams. With these new members, the school board led the school district suc- cessfully through another year.
