Georgia Board Ordered to Enforce Desegregation by March 1970
A panel of three federal judges ordered Georgia to terminate state funds to districts that have not filed desegregation plans by March 1970. The decision defines integrated schools as 5 percent minority enrollment, sets review deadlines through April 1, 1970, and mandates full plan implementation by September 1, 1970. It marks a landmark shift of enforcement to the state level and the first court standards for desegregation.
