Dr. Glenys Unruh believes schools need their input. “School administrators are ir responsible if they don’t accept nputs from all diverse elements of their district,” she empha sized. Dr. Unruh is the next president of the Association for Supervi sion and Curriculum Develop ment. She serves as University City, Mo., schools assistant su perintendent for curriculum and instruction. The veteran educator said school administrators have the responsibility to keep routes open in a defined structure through which people can make known ideas about school programs. “People want to take part,” she said.

I think we’ve driven them to it.” Teachers are irresponsible if they don’t instruct students on their part in decision making,” she added. “School officials are the ones who can ge the process going, or keep it going,” Dr. Unruh said. Besides providing vision and statesmanship, they must see that the cooperative process doesn’t mix people’s personal concerns with official district functions. She classified under personal concerns such things as students’ hair and dress desires and teach ers’ interest in fringe benefits, sick leave and class loads. Dr. Unruh suggested that for mal surveys are the only sure means of identifying needs and concerns of the major portion of a school district’s population. “The ‘squeaking wheels’ will be heard,” she assured. “But the listening can’t be directed solely at them.” School administrators must be prepared to combat several bar riers in utilizing the cooperative decision making process, Dr. Un ruh continued. “Few people have much exper ience in making cooperative de cisions.

The process involves lengthy discussion and debate, for which the public has reluctance to take the time. “Feelings get heated. Accusa tions are thrown that an official is blocking or delaying action that someone feels is justified. Peti tioners will feel the process is too slow, and try to go around it,” she went on. Other barriers might be in ternal or communication prob lems. The system has its faults, she admitted. But students, who feel no government is best, decided that the direct representative sys tem is best if one is needed. The three-day conference ends Wednesday with an address by Dr. L. D. Haskew, UT-Austin ed ucational administration profes sor. Texas status of education reports will be given by Dr. J. W. Edgar, state commissioner of education, and L. P. Sturgeon, Texas State Teachers Association executive secretary. Yet Students Are Honored By Upjohn Co.
