| Abstract | This report addresses those activities for which the Voluntary Interdistrict Coordinating Council (VICC) is responsible, namely, to coordinate and administer the student transfer and voluntary teacher exchange provisions of the court-ordered desegregation settlement agreement for the St. Louis Metropolitan area. The report covers 1983-84, the first year of implementation. Recruitment efforts were extensive and the anticipated enrollment of 2,886 city students into county schools could have been met but for a court stay on additional transfers. Although numbers of transfers were good, it was recognized that in future it will be necessary to increase the number of transfers from county to city schools. Parents were given the opportunity to visit the new schools with their children. Involvement in this program of students, parents, teachers, and administrators throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area was significant. The range of part-time program opportunities was broad in numbers and scope. The VICC approved a research project to provide feedback to assist the implementation of the settlement agreement in future years. Data collected by the VICC after a year of operation shows that transfer students are becoming an integral part of their new schools. Seven percent of students transferring city to county were referred for special education evaluation; 93 percent of students had no major disciplinary problems; and 90 percent were promoted. The attendance rate was commendable. The overall acceptance of the settlement agreement has been noticeable. Appendices list VICC and subcommittee membership, supply samples of recruitment and publicity materials, and provide information on part-time programs. (RDN) |
