San Antonio School Desegregation Plan Hailed by Gonzalez
U S Representative Gonzalez voiced confidence that SAISD Superintendent Harold Hitt will craft an acceptable desegregation plan after HEW findings. HEW flagged two areas of noncompliance and warned that current freedom of choice is inadequate. Building needs include two new high schools and expansions, tied to a desegregation plan. Senator Tower criticized HEW’s handling of freedom of choice plans across Texas districts.
