June 22, 1976Mr. Krueger - 3even though this may result in future deviations from thetarget faculty balance percentages which you have outlinedto us.Our office will continue to monitor, annually, the proportionalityand balance of the teaching staffs within all ofour schools, in relation to our stated policies herein ofconducting our recruitment, hiring, and assignment practiceson a completely nondiscriminatory basis. Should we perceiveany patterns of imbalance developing in any particular school,schools, or units within our system, we will promptly determinewhether any such imbalance has resulted from any applicationof prohibited standards or criteria anywhere within our System,or whether such patterns, if any, have developed by coincidence.In the event of the former conclusion, we will be prepared totake steps to correct any such imbalance as and when theyoccur and to render any repetition of the problem unlikely.Please let us know if this statement of policy meets withyour approval, and, if so, we will consider this statementof policy as an addendum to and part of our faculty re-assignmentplans submitted to you on March 22, 1976.We will await the favor of your response and are hopeful thatany questions which your Office has had in the past will nowbe laid to rest. It should be of interest to you that mostof the proposed re-assignments, as set forth in the March 22instrument, have been effectuated and all necessary re-assignmentsare anticipated to be in place well prior to the commencementof school in September of 1976.Very truly yours,FORT WAYNE COMMUNITY SCHOOLSLLGrjbfester L.
