Plan to desegregate Ector County schools remains unsettled
The plan may change as Justice Department records show ongoing federal desegregation efforts in Ector County. Judge Bunton's past as a trustee raises objectivity questions while eight schools remain racially identifiable with high minority percentages at Travis, Blackshear, Ector, Zavala, Milam, Carver, Rusk, and Hays. The DOJ has monitored proposals since 1970 but no final plan has been agreed upon.
