New Richmond School Plan Proposes Modest Busing to Desegregate
Richmond officials filed a new desegregation plan with U S District Court calling for modest pupil busing to achieve racial balance in the coming year. The plan, focusing on secondary schools, relies on Virginia Transit Co buses to move about 8 000 junior and senior high students while elementary imbalance remains. Transportation would be school board owned and some students may transfer free of charge, with social studies centers in hard to integrate primary schools and paired classrooms to mix races where minority shares are under ten percent.
