HEW seeks end to deseg timetable in Maryland districts
HEW asked Judge Pratt to lift the desegregation timetable affecting Maryland and 16 other states arguing staff shifts to meet deadlines have shortchanged other civil rights cases including those on bias against women and Hispanics. Frederick County was cited among 125 districts in violation with South Frederick Elementary listed at 41 percent minority versus 28 percent target. Elm Street and East Frederick fell below the target. The district invited HEW to review efforts within 90 days and a civil rights field worker visited schools last week.
