Mitchell, Nancy Citywide Coordinating Council (Boston, Mass.)

Description

Citywide Coordinating Council daily monitoring report for Brighton High School by Nancy Mitchell. Mitchell describes some critical comments made by teachers and administrators regarding Phase II of the desegregation plan. Mitchell also mentions difficulties such as overcrowding in the schools, scheduling, and the transferring and hiring of teachers. She reports that weapons are being brought to school as a result of increasing tension between different ethnic groups which, Mitchell believes, originates out of the five housing projects that are geocoded to Brighton High School. Mitchell further notes that she believes the new black students in the school are more economically poor and anti-social than black students that attended Brighton High School before desegregation. And finally, Mitchell mentions the plight of one student in the automotive program who wishes to return to his old high school.
