AMENDED FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

It having come to the attention of the Court that on 

page 6 of the Findings of Fact and Recommendations recently 

issued herein, the reference to the school board's projected 

attendance is misleading in that it does not make clear that 

this projection is based on what the attendance could be and 

not what it promises to be. Accordingly, the Court dcletos 

two sentences in the language beginning on line 12, "Should 

this assignment continue, etc.,'” and substitutes in lieu 

thereof the following two sentences: 

"The enrollment for the coming term, should 

current attendance continue as projected by the 

school board, would increase the disparity to 

847 black and 16% white attendance at the North 

Campus, and 247 black and 767 white at the South 

Campus, indicating a strong trend toward re- 

segregation of these schools; however, white 

attendance, as evidenced by current enrollments, 

shows a trend of decreasing. In substantiating 

its conclusion that both schools will continue 

  
  

  
 



  

            
          

      
  

        
  

  

  
  

to become increasingly black, the school board 

points to five private and parochial schools in 

the area, serving grades 1-12, each with two 

more across the river in Louisiana.” 

ZL SO CERTIFIED this the &{¢ “day of July, 1970.
