U S Appeals Court Upholds True Neighborhood Schools
The 5th Circuit in New Orleans defined true neighborhood schools as assigning pupils to the nearest school with no exceptions. The ruling found Orange County Fla, not strictly following such a basis, desegregating eight of eleven black schools. Governors from the South met in Washington to oppose student busing for desegregation. Panetta resigned as HEW Civil Rights chief. Greenville County, S.C., continued integration with thousands of students transferring without incident.
