The House Education Committee advanced eight bills to close public schools ordered to integrate and then drafted a resolution to probe 56 LSU teachers who opposed the measures. Louisiana Teachers Assn and segregation supporters warned the state could avoid a Little Rock by adopting the bills. The bills, drawn from Virginia Alabama and North Carolina laws, would let the governor close schools or operate cooperatives to continue instruction, and one measure would bar funds for racially mixed schools.
