"Options in Education" is a radio news program which focuses on issues and developments in education. This transcript of the show contains discussions of civil rights and school desegregation, learning to drive a school bus, and parental participation in the control of schools. Participants in this part of the program are John Merrow and Wendy Blair, moderators; Arthur Fleming, Frankie Freeman, and Peter Holmes, of the United States Civil Rights Commission; Stan Salett, of the National Committee for Citizens in Education; and reporter Connie Goldman. In addition, reporter David Freudberg interviews four people--a gym teacher, a cafeteria worker, a student, and a teacher--at the Horace Mann Middle School in Boston, where desegregation is proceeding smoothly.
