Harvey Bertram Scribner (July 7, 1914 – December 23, 2002) was an American educator and administrator who oversaw the voluntary integration of the Teaneck Public Schools in the mid-1960s.
[1] Following high school, Scribner found work on Matinicus Isle, a remote island located 20 miles (32 km) off the coast of Maine accessible by ferry from Rockland.
There he oversaw the adoption of mandatory busing in 1965 in which Teaneck voluntarily integrated its public schools.
[2] Teaneck's 1965 busing plan made it the first district in the nation with a white majority to implement a voluntary school integration program.
He was co-author of the 1975 book Make Your Schools Work: Practical, Imaginative and Cost-Free Plans to Turn Public Education Around published by Simon & Schuster.
