Subsequently, Mr. Williamson informed the Board that following this vote the Pacific School District R-6 had complied with all the regulations which are specified under our Policies and Procedure Manual. Mr. Williamson also stated that the administrative staff of the college hod prepared a report for the Board members, giving their recommendation , Copies of this report were circulated. | £ 6/24/63 - 3 - or m Mr. Guy S. Ruffin, Vic President f the Board, wets En California on vacation. However, he had addressed a letter to Mr, Williamson/ giving his views. Mr. Williamson read the letter to the Board. A copy of Mr. Ruffin's letter is noted below, and will become a permanent part of these Minutes. June 23, 1963 Gerald Williamson, President Board of Trustees St. Louis-St, Louis County J . C D . St, Louis, Mo» Sir: *m. Since I shall be absent from Board Meeting Monday June 24 when the petition from Pacific R-6 School District will be considered by the Board, I should like to make these observations concerning the recommendations made by the staff. Rule 1,7,2 of Policies and Procedures concerning annexations says in part: "The officers of the College (The President of the Board of Trustees, the President of the Junior College, the Vice-President in charge of Business Service and the VicePresident of Instruction) so notified (of petitions) shall each prepare for benefit of the Board a report setting forth their views and considerations as to the advisability of annexing the petitioning district," I feel that we should follow the rule and hav an individual report from each staff member. Further, concerning staff report "A" of the agenda please permit wa to say this: The points favoring annexation so greatly out-weigh, in my mind, the points against annexation that I can not understand how they arrived at the recommendation not to annex. Item B.I against annexation. The East Missouri Junior College District report snows that of 22 districts, 4 districts had less than 50 percent petitioning for formation/ 3 districts gave no figures but "claimed" sufficient signatures and 4 were opposed to the formation. This seemingly shows no overwhelming evidence for the formation of the district, 11 of the districts were In the doubtful column. It seems unfair to compel Pacific to await so uncertain a district, 6/24/«53 - 4- T1- """"*""""'""""""""'" f p Y ' ' ': ^ P •'' ' ' ' ' " ' rti ' ' ' i •"•*• • i '[ P i ' i l l rm I Ill -r-iin ' . . ' ' • • • ' • • Item B.3, Is of no concern to us In voting as to whether to ace pt or reject Pacific Into the district* Concerning B,6«, since a portion of Pacific already lies In St. Louis County and no other district adjacent to St, Louis County is so located, it could In no way form a precedent for annexation of school districts that are bordering on St, Louis County. I do not wish to belabor the question but I must say concerning B.7, the provision that the Rules and Procedures has for the staff to make recommendations for annexation does not include recommendations for anything else. Please accept this statement of my views concerning the annexation of Pacific to the St, Louis - St. Louis County Junior College District, Very truly yours, s/sGuy S. Ruffin Guy S, Ruffin 6/24/63 '.'a'A- 'i 1 i r ™ A general discussion followed, In which all Board members who were present participated. Whereupon, Mr. Williamson asked that the Board take action on the petition of the Pacific School District R~6, requesting that they be annexed to the Junior College District of St. Louis - Sr. Louis Count/, Missouri. Voting for the annexation: None Voting against the annexation: Mrs. Joseph C . Bastion, Messrs: G . V. Williamson, Lester C. G e i l , Morris Glaser, and Mr. F. Wm. McCalpin. Whereupon, the President of the Board stated that, in accordance with the Rules of the Board (1.7 - Annexations) listed In the Policies and Procedures Manual, and upon iJve vote of the members of the Board, the petition of the Pacific School District R-6 was rejected. Whereupon, the Board President asked the Board Secretary, Mrs. Dolores Tygard, to relate the decision of the Board to the Secretary of the Pacific School District R-6, and to convey the Board's regrets. He also asked the Secretary to inform the State Commissioner of Education, the Honorable Hubert Wheeler, of the decision reached by the Board.
