Girls to change schools in desegregation fight
Three white girls in a custody desegregation dispute will enroll in a private school instead of the designated integrated public school. State Judge Richard Lee indicated the girls will likely avoid school until the new semester, then join a private academy, despite U S District Judge Nauman Scott threatening to withhold credits. The Buckeye High School trio faced court orders and a tense clash earlier, while Buckeye officials noted a quiet opening without the girls or officials.
