Chattanooga Desegregation Plan Presented to Court
The Chattanooga Board of Education submitted a revised pride-a-year desegregation plan to U.S. District Court on Monday in line with a court order issued Jan. 27 by Judge Leslie R. Carr. The plan, likely to take effect next September, faces doubt it can be implemented by then as the case remains on appeal to the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati. The proposal mirrors Nashville’s stair-step plan and follows Carr’s prior integration orders and objections from the earlier plan.
