The Chair hears none. Amendment No.
7 is agreed to by unanimous consent.
Will the pages now please distribute
Amendment B.
For what purpose does Delegate Bam-
berger rise?
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: For a point
of information. Was Bl six and B J seven?
THE CHAIRMAN: Bl is seven and B J
is six.
Amendment B will be marked Amend-
ment No. 8.
Will the Clerk read the amendment?
READING CLERK: Amendment No. 8
to Committee Recommendation GP-6 by
Delegate Willis:
On page 2, section 5 in line 17 strike out
the words "managed by" and insert in lieu
thereof "under the control and direction
of" and in line 17 put a period after the
word "selection" and strike out the re-
mainder of this line and all of lines 18
through 26 inclusive.
Delegate Willis, in view of the change
made in section 5 by Amendment No. 7, I
suggest to you that a change is necessary
in the second part of your Amendment
No. 8.
DELEGATE WILLIS: I would be very
glad to accept that change, if you wish.
THE CHAIRMAN: Well, I would sug-
gest that it read "and in line 17 place a
period after the words added by Amend-
ment No. 7."
DELEGATE WHEATLEY: I would ac-
cept that.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any objec-
tion to the modification of the amendment
by changing line 8 to strike the word "se-
lection" and inserted in lieu thereof the
following "words added by Amendment
No. 7."
The Chair hears none. The amendment
is so modified.
The Amendment No. 8 is proposed by
Delegate Willis. Is there a second.
(The motion was duly seconded.)
THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment is
seconded. The Chair recognizes Delegate
Willis to speak to it.
DELEGATE WILLIS: Mr. Chairman,
would it be possible to ask the Chairman
of the Committee, Chairman Wheatley, if
|
he would accept this amendment in lieu of
section 5?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Wheatley?
DELEGATE WHEATLEY: Delegate
Willis, I have just asked one of the persons
working with me here to check this out
with the other members. Sensing the feel-
ing of the Committee, we would certainly
feel that discretion would be the better
part of valor at this point, and I would
be inclined personally to concur with it.
However, I would not be able to speak in
the next moment or so for the Committee.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kathleen
Robie.
DELEGATE ROBIE: Mr. Chairman,
may I ask a question of Delegate Willis?
THE CHAIRMAN: You certainly may.
Delegate Willis, will you respond to the
question?
DELEGATE WILLIS: I will be glad to.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Kathleen
Robie.
DELEGATE ROBIE: Delegate Willis,
what do your words "under the control
and direction of" have to do with the ac-
tual running of the school system as it
now is?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Willis.
DELEGATE WILLIS: Delegate Robie,
I see no change in the running of the
school system as it actually is. Those are
words very close to what you will find in
the present law for both the state board
and local board and the language of section
5 of the Majority Report reduced that to
management by the local board and I want
it placed back on the level that it has al-
ways enjoyed as having co-authority with
the state board.
THE CHAIRMAN : Is there any further
question, Delegate Robie?
DELEGATE ROBIE: Yes, sir. I would
further like to ask whether, if there is
definite control in the constitution by the
local board, this would have anything to
do with the visitorial power or where the
state board must settle questions over what
they have controlled where we may substi-
tute our opinions for theirs, would this be
changed?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Willis.
DELEGATE WILLIS: I cannot see
where it would be changed because it op-
erates now under the same words.
