La Porte school board approves five amendments on desegregation plan
La Porte Texas trustees vote to accept Francis Keppel’s five amendments to the district’s desegregation plan while asking for a formal review of non compliances. Superintendent Pearce cites federal guidance from Washington officials and notes changes tied to 1966 67 compliance timelines. Officials discuss transportation equivalence and assignment for Negro teachers amid Civil Rights Act concerns. The meeting follows earlier miscommunications about plan approval for 1963 66 and a later clarification from Keppel’s office.
