State court upholds pocket zoning plan in Baytown schools
The Texas First Court of Appeals upheld Baytown school trustees authority to adopt a pocket zoning plan to promote integration. The decision, aligning with a 1985 ruling, allows boundaries changes between Robert E. Lee and Ross 5S. Sterling high schools to reduce ethnic and socio-economic isolation. Justice Cohen wrote the opinion, noting no constitutional right to attend a specific school and stressing the plan as educational policy within board powers. Citizens for Better Education criticized the ruling, while district leaders welcomed it as clearing the air before the 1986 87 year.
