High Court Backs Judge In Boston Desegregation Case
The Supreme Court refused to disturb U S District Judge Garritys desegregation receivership for South Boston High School. The ruling upheld Garritys authority to remove the school from the city school committee and to appoint a receiver while approving transfers and a renovation plan to strengthen desegregation efforts. The Boston school committee challenged Garritys power, while the Massachusetts Board of Education backed the scope of the receivership as limited to desegregation policy rather than day-to-day administration.
