Of the 4,061 teachers the district hired from 1980 to 1985, 45 percent did not achieve the “preferred” score of 57 percent, according to school district records. Some low-scoring teachers were hired to help the district achieve court-ordered racial quotas, officials told the Dallas Times Herald. In 1981, U.S. District Court Judge Barefoot Sanders ordered the dis trict to have a teaching staff com posed of 43 percent black teachers and 12 percent Hispanic teachers by the 1986-87 school year. The pre sent teaching staff is 37 percent black and 7 percent Hispanic. Three-quarters of the blacks, two- thirds of the Hispanics and one- third of the whites the district hired failed the test, said Deberie Gomez, director of personnel. School officials said minorities of ten score lower than whites because their schools were not as good, and added that applicants of all races from outside Texas tend to score higher than native Texans. Superintendent Linus Wright said some low-scoring white teachers are hired to keep away “reverse discrim ination” lawsuits. The district developed the skills test to measure the applicants’ knowledge of subjects “covered in senior high school textbooks” and their ability to perform math prob lems commonly done on the job,” according to a district report. The test is one of 1 1 criteria the district uses when deciding whom to hire. The other criteria include in terviews, references and college transcripts. Wright said the most capable mi nority college students tend to go into business and not into education. Thus, he said, the pool of minority applicants is poorer than minority college graduates as a whole. District officials said they will probably discontinue the test since the state presently tests teachers and college students. by Scott McQ X CAM FLOAT, CHANGE ||X HEARP A SCIOKE FICTION SIZE.
