The committee was appointed earlier by the Board of Education to study racial imbalance and it's as sociated problem s in the schools and to make recom mendations for action to the Board. The intent of the com mittee’s recommendation to provide for a system of voluntary a d m in is tr a tiv e transfers was to help reduce racial isolation and over crowding in the neighborhood schools, particularly in the Model Cities area. (A com panion recommendation from that committee was to ini tiate compensatory education in those same schools as a means of providing greater quality education. These schools became known as the "model schools".) The process of the ad ministrative transfer program was for the principal, teacher and parent to jointly con sider the voluntary transfer request of students. In order for a transfer request to be approved, a student must have had parental ap proval, space had to be avail able at the school to which the student wished to trans fer, and placement of stu dents was in adjacent schools. Student«- and parents in the voluntary program at first had to agree that the student would remain at the transfer school for at least a year and would provide their own transportation. Later on. transportation was provided by the district for most transfer students. There are two main as pects of the administrative transfer. First, that situa tion w here stu d en ts are transferred at the initiative of the administrat'on for ad ministrative purposes. For instance, the movement of a grade level group to another building to alleviate over crowding. Transfers in the«** instances have always been transported at the school district expense. Second, is the suburban transfer pro gram. This program did not begin at the outset of im plementation of the recom mendations of the Committee on Race and Education, but was a later and companion development. Under this program, which began in 1967. students from schools in which racial im balance existed could volun teer to transfer to certain cooperating suburban school districts. The focus in the first few years, in all aspects of the administrative transfer pro gram, was on upper elemen tary grade school students. In the regular program, stu dents went from such ele mentary schools as King, Sabin, Peninsula, Irvington, Vernon, Ockley Green, Hum boldt. Woodlawn. Boise. Holi day, Eliot and Faubion. They attended schools throughout the city. In all, 53 Portland elementary schools received student transfers from one area of the city. In 1972-73, 1,271 students participated in this aspect of the adminis trative transfer program. Under the suburban ad m inistrative tran sfer pro gram. Portland students from elementary schools such as King. Woodlawn, Humboldt. Boise. Sabin, Vernon, Irving ton were transferred to ele mentary schools in Beaver ton, David Douglas. Lake Oswego and Parkrose. These independent school districts entered into agreements with the school district whereby the Portland district trans ported students to these schools and paid the costs of their education from state and federal funds. In all, 106 suburban transfer students participated in the program in 1972-73. An expanded administra- tive transfer program will be in operation in the Portland schools in 1973-74. Teams of sp ecia lists, working under Title IV Civil Rights Act, this spring and summer have been assisting students and parents in becoming involved in the program. While final figures will not be available until school opens in the fall, it is ex pected that approximately 1,600 students will be in the program in September. The total program has operated su ccessfu lly through the years, despite some rumor and misunderstanding. In the early years, there was greater emphasis on the transfer of Black students to remove or to reduce racial isolation both among sending schools and receiving schools. Such a plan created a nega tive attitude about the pro gram on the part of many Model N eighborhood re si dents, such as: Why should only Black students be trans ferred; why should only those students who were "ready" (acceptable) to the white community be transferred; that the Black student lead ership was siphoned off. leav ing all the "problem stu dents'*; that students who were problems were sent back to their home schools: that the bus schedules were inflexible and inaccurate, not providing for students who were late to the bus stop or needed to stay late at school; that those parents whose chil dren were not accepted for transfer, but who wanted to be transferred, had to do so at their own expense; and among other complaints, that there had been either no preparation or insufficient preparation of administrators, teachers, students and par ents in the receiving schools, thus creating an atmosphere of unfriendliness. While there have been some justifiable complaints, I must say that over the past four years, a sincere effort has been made to increase the number of transferees and to upgrade the program for the fullest possible bene fit of both forwarding stu dents and receiving schools.
