Five-Step Plan Aims Crosbys Desegregation Push
Crosby School District moves a five step desegregation proposal to Washington on May 16 led by Attorney Joe Reynolds. The plan preserves freedom of choice but increases white teacher assignments at Drew High and Elementary, ends busing past Drew, and directs buses to nearest campuses. It also calls for a bond issue to convert Drew to a mixed vocational facility and build a new Drew elementary school.
