The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling, saying suburban counties cannot be held responsible for inner city decay effects on Richmond public schools. The decision overturned a district court merger order joining Richmond city schools with Chesterfield and Henrico counties, and noted housing discrimination exists but is not state action shaping district composition.
