Raleigh County schools maintain integration under court order
Raleigh County and nearby counties are integrated under a federal court order that defines school attendance zones. Superintendent Sherman Trail said zones prevent long travel and ensure enrollment is not denied due to race. NAACP leader Willard L. Brown urged compliance reviews and potential challenges for five counties. Brown also criticized WVU for a discriminatory athletic framework and questioned relations with coach Art Lewis and the board. O A Phillips denied knowledge of Brown’s charges.
