A| The history of the Ad
ministrative Transfer, and
B| Current plans for trans
porting Black students.]
by Gladys McCoy
The administrative trans
fer program in the Portland
Public Schools is a voluntary
program initiated by the
Board of Education in 1965 in
response to a recommends
tion by the so-called Com
mittee on Race and Educa
tion.
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.

1973-74 school year.)
