JAMES E. SWANN, et al,
Plaintiffs,
vs.
CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG BOARD
OF EDUCATION, et al,
Defendants.
Civil Action No. 19 74
STATEMENT OF BOARD MEMBERS
niOH^D REV. COLEMAN KERRY
WITH REFERENCE TO SUBMISSION OF PLAN OF DESEGREGATION
The Court has directed the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education
to present a plan for integration which would comply with the requirements!
of the Constitution of the United States. On three previous occasions,
the Board has submitted plans which it felt would comply with the orders
of the Court. On each occasion, the Court has rejected the plan and
in December, specifically instructed the Board that the plan must desegre
gate all schools in the system. The Court has suggested to the Board that
in devising a plan it might use a combination of several means but must
do whatever is necessary in order to desegregate the schools.
In December, the Court appointed an educational consultant to
assist the Court in devising a plan which the Court felt necessary to comply
with the Constitution. The Court further authorized the Board to make
such additional studies and proposals to the Court as it deemed advisable.
