Chicago faces desegregation suit and funds loss
Chicago, a historically segregated city, faces a desegregation lawsuit and possible loss of federal funds if a new plan is not produced. Mayor Byrne and the school board hope to negotiate an acceptable plan to unlock $3 million in frozen HEW funds, with a Oct 1 deadline to reapply for the 1980 school year.
