Austin busing plan on back burner
The U S Supreme Court ruled Austin need not meet strict 5th Circuit desegregation guidelines, reversing the appeals court. Superintendent Jack Davidson said a massive 13 000 to 14 000 student plan may not be needed as current busing serves desegregation goals. Mexican-Americans and blacks reacted with disappointment, noting potential limits to desegregation progress amid a 58 000 student district with 62 percent Anglo, 23 percent Chicano, and 15 percent Black.
