Richardson School District Frees Four Day Deadline On Desegregation Plan
U S District Judge William Taylor Jr ordered Richardson to craft an acceptable desegregation scheme within four days after federal attorneys failed to privately settle. He warned there are no separate black or white schools just schools. If the district submits a workable plan by 4 p.m. Monday, busing may be used to desegregate, a remedy Stanley McCaleb previously called unworkable. The case is the second of six in North Texas with Garland, Lubbock and San Angelo hearings ahead and Wichita Falls to follow next Tuesday. The courtroom was crowded as Justice Department lawyer John Conroy argued for a district plan effective by the start of classes the following day. He termed Richardson a dual system noting over 300 of 1,090 black pupils come from Hamilton Park.
