Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. PLEASANTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS [Header] W.J. Everitt, Superintendent Pleasanton, Texas October 12, 1946 Supt. L.A. Woods, State Dept. of Education, Austin, Texas Dear Sir; On Sept. 25th. The Board of Trustees received a letter from Davis, Wright & Perales, Attorneys at Law in San Antonio, Texas together with a petition protesting against the segregation of the Latin-Americans from the Anglo-American children up to and including the sixth grade. Until this year we have been putting the children all together in the fifth grade but allowing the brighter Latin-American children to enter even the fourth grade if capable of keeping up in their school work. This year we have the children together in the sixth grade but we had a peculiar situation in the fourth and fifth grades together with a class room and teacher shortage, In the Anglo-American fourth we have 42 children and the fifth 30 while the Latin-American fourth has 10 and the fifth 13; therefore with no additional teacher available we combined the Latin-American grades in the one remaining classroom. I was approached on the arrangement of the Latin-American children and the party was invited to attend a Trustees meeting and discuss the matter but instead we have been presented with a petition which the board has not answered to date not knowing just what to do without space or additional teacher. Sometime ago the trustees talked of building a separate Latin-American school but the Latin-Americans did not want such an arrangement. As far as I know they have always attended this one school and I cannot see that we are segregating them in the present arrangement. We have voted a $75,000.00 bond issue for a new building to [Underlined - releave] our crowded condition but at the present time we have been informed by the CPA that the program will be turned down. Please advise us in this situation. Is there a law forbidding us to do what has been done this year? In fact this district has provided more equal education for the Latin-Americans than any other school district in this County. Thank you in advance for your aid in the above matter.

Everitt Superintendent of Schools Pleasanton, Texas Dear Mr. Everitt; Upon my return to the office here today I found your letter of October 12th awaiting my attention. In reply, permit me to state that, as you already know, the law requires that no discrimination be permitted among the children. The Latin American children has as much right under the law to nice school rooms, good equipment, textbooks, and an uncrowded situation as the Anglo Americans. You should by no means permit a separation of those children after they pass the third grade. Up to the third grade, until they learn the language, separation is probably better; however, if the Latin American child is reared in a home where English is spoken, there is no reason for separation at all. I trust that you will be able to work out this problem satisfactorily to all concerned. If we can be of any help to you, we shall be glad to do it. Sincerely yours, L.A. Woods State Superintendent Cartas Discriminación contra Latinos Discriminación racial en la educación Everitt, W. J. Woods, L. A.
