According to district superintendent Joe DeMarsh, the final members of the committee are to be affirmed this week The committee w ill be made up of two local citizens, two students (named by the student body officers) and district prin cipal Bill MacFarlane and an instructor from the activities staff. The need for his committee stems from the recent happenings over an assembly with religious material on Feb 28 Following the assembly, 11 instructors signeu a petition to the administration for the separation of church and state Three of thœe who signed the petition were later dismissed by the district. The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon has filed a suit against the district for Gary Thompson, one of the instructors who was dismissed Thompson was not on a contract to the district, he was a sub stitute teacher According to DeMarsh, the district did not expect the suit and had put Thompson back on ’ he list of substitute teachers used by the district before it was filed "In fact, we have already called him back to substitute,” said DeMarsh DeMarsh said the district has set a deadline of the June board meeting for the policy statement from the committee "We hope the committee can come up with a policy which will help prevent any similar situations like the Feb 28 assembly," said DeMarsh In another incident at the high school last week the Sandy police were called to evict Clark Peters, representative for the Oregon Education Association and the National Education Association, from the school building Peters had refused the administrations s request that he leave until after the school work day was completed at 4 p.m. He had been in the faculty room of the high school discussing association business with members of the Sandy Union High School Teachers Association during the lunch hour. According to Bill Jordon chairman of the Sandy high association, Peters had come to the school at the request of the local association DeMarsh said Peters had been asked to leave because school was still in session. "He was told he would be welcomed after the school day at 4 p.m. to talk with the teachers ” According to DeMarsh, the real question is whether every one has free access to the school. “ I feel there is a need to have some screening of people coming into the school and for them to be given permission to speak with school personnel or students,” said DeMarsh Peters had not cleared through the receptionist at the school, according to DeMarsh Jordon told the Post, “ In the past, Peters has had an open invitation to visit the school and he has never bothered a teacher who is instructing a class He has always talked to us on our free tim e.” The local teacher association according to Jordon, does not have any statement concerning the incident in vo lvin g Thompson because he is not a member of the local teacher's association.
