Illinois Scene Waukegan Appeals School Integration Ruling
Waukegan officials say they will appeal a Circuit Court order to integrate three white elementary schools and cut Negro enrollment at Whittier Elementary from 85 percent to 42.6 percent. The plan redraws boundaries so other white schools reach about 20 percent black enrollment. Superintendent Donald M. Van Devander questions the plan’s consideration of class load space and travel distances. In Hillsboro a missing-person case linked to Richard Speck ends with two locals found after a month.
