Hearing Set on Leonard Street School Closing Injunction
A 2 p.m. July 14 hearing in U S Middle District Court Greensboro will hear a motion to enjoin the High Point Board of Education from closing Leonard Street Elementary School and from building new schools seen as perpetuating segregation. The motion, filed in March, seeks reversal of the board vote to close Leonard Street and revert to a grade 1–6 system, plus reporting requirements and staff balance constraints. The case, linked to a 10 year desegregation suit, involves local attendance zone redrawings and potential further changes if the court acts.
