Quick Decision on Dunbar Facing School Board
Thi* Brady School Board must
decide quickly how to bring the
I>unl>ar School up to minimum
standards set by the Texas Edu-
cation Agency—or risk loss of
accreditation for the entire Brady
school system.
A building program at Dunhar
would cost an estimated $135,000.
That would have to be financed
by a bond issue, and repayment
with interest over 20 to 30 years
would double the cost.
Four additional teachers also
would have to be hired, at a cost
of $10,000 annually, the entire
amount coming out of local taxes
since the Dunbar enrollment is too
sniull to qualify for additional
state funds.
The building program would
require a 13-cent increase in
the school tax rate or a 9 per-
cent increase in valuations.
It would take an additional
13-cent tax increase to pay
the four extra teachers.

What else?
The School Board has been
studying this problem for the last
several years anil knew the show-
down was coming as soon as
the Texas Education Agency made
its accreditation visit. The ac-
creditation team was here in April.
With the support of th • com-
munity, the Board favors the fol-
lowing plan as the least expensive
to save the district’s accreditation:
1—Abolish the high school ut
Dunbar and transfer 21 Negro
high school students there to
Brady High.
2 Maintain Dunhar as an ele-
mentary school for shout Tit
Negro children in gra es one
through eight.
“We could then operate a qual-
ity elementary program at Dun-
bar, and we could still use four
Negro teachers in the first eight
grades and meet the accreditation
standards,’' explained Supt. C. A.
Reynolds. The school now operates
with four teachers hut they must
teach all grades, from the first
through high school.

operate under similar programs,
segregated elementary schools and
integrated high schools.
As far as Reynolds can deter-
mine, people in the Dunbar com-
munity don't’ want to close up
their school completely.
“It's convenient, and they
feel about their school the
same way that l.ohn, Melvin,
and Rochelle feel about their
hrhools.”
Survivors include his wife; five
daughters, Mrs. Roscoe Eckert,
Mr. Nolan Donop and Mrs. Ster-
ling .Ionian, all of Mason, Mrs.

Mrs. Ben Hill Ogden of Abilene;

II ti are the winner :
And Reynolds sees little pos-
sibility of friction in bringing the
Dunbar high schoolers to Brady
High.
“They have been up there be-
fore, for tests and other reasons,
and our students have always
gone out of their way to help
them.’’
To provide minimum facilities
! for 21 high school students at
Dunbar (to meet accreditation
standards) would require:
1 — Four new classrooms, one
equipped as a science laboratory
and one equipped for homemak-
ing (sewing and cooking).
2—Some type of shop building
equipped for woodworking, gen-
eral shop work, or vocational ag-
i riculture.
3 A central library and equip-
ment.
4- Additional boys and girls
rest, rooms.
5 Some type of covered play
area, gymnasium with showers
and dressing rooms, or combina-
tion gym auditorium.
“And we might have to provide
a lunchroom,’’ 'Reynolds suid.
• * *
The School Board could cnll a
bond issue and build the necessary
facilities at Dunbar, “but the
board thinks this would be foolish
' —in view of the uncertainty of
maintaining a school there for
very long, in light of the federal
government’s activities . . .
“Dallas and Houston have fine
Negro schools. They’ had no ac-
creditation problems, but they
were forced to integrate. It might
come to us in four or five years,’’
Reynolds explained.
To bring Dunlvir's 21 high
school students to Brady
High would require an elec-
tion, to be called by the
School Board only after re-
ceiving a petition signed by
at least 20 percent of the
school district's qualified vot-
ers.
That is the law as passed by
the 55th Legislature. To integrate
without an election would mean
the loss of accreditation and the
loss of state school funds.
Reynolds says it would be al-
most impossible to operate a non-
accredited school system.
“An industry coming to our
town would just pass us by
once they found out that our
schools were not accredited.
They wouldn't want to bring
their children here.’’
Loss of accreditation would de-
stroy the value of Brady High
