The CAC agreed with Dr. Fobert aht "schools do and should play a role in developing attitudes and values relative to sex roles and practices" . The CAC concurred that corrective measures should be directed toward discrimination of race, religion and sex, but felt that other communities should study the first four areas. The letter outlined areas of agreement and disagreemnt with Dr. Fobert's recommendations regarding Ch 622 implementation in Lexington. Ln summary, the . CAC commended the school system for positive steps taken but felt more- active efforts should be made. The CAC requested that the school committee review and respond to the 86 recommendations in the report, "Sex Inequalities in the Lexington Schools". In reference to line 4, para 4, Mr. Rotberg asked the CAC if it had any supportive data to substantiate the remark. None was available but he was told that it was felt there was a policy. This will be checked further with Mr. Spiris. Mrs. Sheila Clemon-Karp felt that there was a lack of active recruitment efforts to hire women for administrative positions. Dr. Fobert noted that of the 88 high school principal candidates, only one was a woman. He also felt we do advertise widely. Mrs. Swanson commented that women have to take the initiative and apply. Mrs. Berchtold noted that sometimes our screening limited candidates; e.g. , requiring central office e-cperrence for a new assistant superintendent. Perhaps this limitation precluded some women being considered. for appointment. She fel-i, we should. keep note of the recommendations of the CAC and perhaps_ rs form a. committee the fall to assist the schools.
