Jean McGuire wrote this letter to Dr. Robert Spencer, the Superintendent of Brookline Schools, in response to a letter he wrote to a Dr. Glenn (unknown). In it, she describes inaccuracies in his statements about METCO and its budget and distribution, and also restates the purpose of the program. McGuire also points out that in his statement at a recent meeting, Dr. Spencer did not address the issue of a racially imbalanced employment in the school system.
