District 199 Board Asked: 'When Are You Going To Hire Minority Persons?'

A newspaper account of a May 1974 meeting of the ISD 199 Inter-Cultural Education Advisory Committee reported on the title question, posed by community member Mary Brooks, a Black woman who asked the district why it had not yet hired any staffers of color despite the work of the committee and presence of non-white residents in the district. The account details the work of the committee, led by chair Jerry Guevara, and its reception by the ISD 199 School Board and superintendent William Gessner.
