Chicago Moves To End Bias In Schools
Chicago Board of Education unveiled a plan to reduce faculty segregation with a 3.6 million dollar federal aid package and a 15 point strategy. The Justice Department warned of a civil rights suit unless a solution was found, citing widespread segregation in assignments and urging more balanced staffing. The plan includes voluntary transfers, an incentive pay of 1000 dollars for teachers to work in culturally different schools, extended service requirements, and a reduced share of fully certified teachers to welcome more inexperienced Black educators into white schools.

Court Orders Houston Desegregation Plan Change by 1970
U S district Judge Ben Connally ruled Houston’s freedom of choice desegregation may stay but the school board must redraw districts or adopt a zoning or pairing plan by the 1970-71 school year. About 250,000 students face potential impact as the plan aims for districts with at least 10 percent white or black enrollment. Judge Connally favored orderly progress and warned against reliance on busing, noting Supreme Court aims to achieve integration as a public policy. He noted existing desegregation progress and the HEW and Justice Department push to accelerate change.
