The controversial measure,

Religious Test
IsDenied by
School Board
BY BRIAN KELLY
star staff Writer

The Fairfax County School
Board declared last night II
places no religious require
ments upon its teachers.
In separate action. the board
established policies easing the
transfer Of Negro students 10
all-white or desegregateo
schools.
After a closed session, Chair
man Eugene Newman opened
the board meeting with the
declaration that mo religious
tests are used in the school
system, either as a condition
Of initial employment or for
promotion"
The boards policy statement
on religious requirements came
in response to recent contro-
versy over School Supt. Earl c
Funderburk's remark at q re-
cent educational conference
He was quoted as saying that
schoolteachers were not fit tc
instruct children unless they
believed in a Supreme Being.
Mr.. Funderburk's critics, air
ing their views in letters to area
newspapers and, in one case
to the board Of county super
visors. have asked If his stand
reflected official policy.
Mr.. Newman and Mr.. Fund
erburk said last night the
superintendent's comment be-
fore the American Association
of School Administrators was
an expression of personal
opinion" in a speech on moral
and spiritual values.
School board members said
Mr.. Funderburk was not CEN
sured.
In its policy stand on place.
ment of Negro pupils. the board
split on motions offered by its
vice chairman, Mrs. Martha
Gertwagen.
A majority agreed to Mrs
Gertwagen's proposals allow
ing Negro pupils now in de-
segregated classes to move UP
to the next level of schooling
with their white classmates and
permitting other Negroes to
transfer to the nearest all
white or desegregated schools
in their attendance districts.
Acting first on the policy
allowing elementary and in
termediate school Negro grad
yates to move upward to all
white or desegregated schools
with their classmates, board
members voted So in favor of
the motion. William Hoofnagle
and John d. K. Smoot opposed
lit.
The new policy will permit
automatic assignment next fall
of 10 sevepth-graders moving
up from nine desegregated ele-
mentary schools and % ninth
graders leaving intermediate
classes to move with their white
classmates.
The second placement action
adopted by a ST. vote, grants
a Negro student the right tt
transfer from a distant Negro
school to a desegregated or all
white facility near his home.
Mrs. Gertwagen said that the
first motion merely made a
policy Of the precedent estab-
lished by the school board last
year when it permitted rising
Negro students to stay in their
desegregated classes. The sec
ond proposal. she said, gives
the school administration au-
thority to act on transfer
applications that normally have
been brought to the board for
actions.
