of Pebruary 5, 1970, requiring implementation of a desegrega-

trict court order of March 25, 1970, postponing implementation
of the plan until September 1970.

©. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Black parents and children filed this action in January of
1965 seeking the desegregation of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
~~
consolidated school system. The flrst district court decision
was issued in July 1965 (243 F. Supp. 667). An appeal was
taken by the plaintiffs and this Court affirmed in 1966 (369
P.24 29),
The plaintiffs reopened the case in September of 1968.
The subsequent proceedings {eading to this appeal have been
extensive. The court has entered more than a dozen opinions
and orders. The case has been fully tried and considered by
the district court.
We have organized our discussion of the proceedings below
intozeight parts, each involving a somewhat separate episcde
in the case.’ The district court in its Supplemental Memorandum
; 1
of March 21, 1970 (Appendix II, Item 1 tad provided an
extremely useful summary of the case. Our statement which fol-
lows is set out in more detail.
I. Litieation in 1965 and 1966
The city and county systems had operated as separate
administrative units prior to 19561, Attendance zones were
established in 1965 for all schools, except 10 all-Negro schcols,
for the 1965-66 school year. At the same time the board extended

an unrestricted right to transfer to 2ll students subject only
to space limitations.” Thus, the assignment plan instituted
"in 1965 is essentially a zoning plar with freedom of choice.
his plan approved by the district court in 1965 and by this
Court in 1966 has continued through the present (1969-70)
School ‘year, ” |
When the case came to trial in the summer of 1965, the
plaintiffs' complaints centered upon four issues: ten inferior
~ -
schools serving, 4,000 black students still having dual zones;
gerrymandering; Faculty integration; and the: free transfer
policy (343 PF. Supp. 667), |
The district court accepted the ponvdis assurance that the
ten schools would be phased out within he Jears and probably
within one year and found such a timetable to be acceptiable.
As to gerrymandering, the court held that the plaintiffs had
failed in their proof. The court modified the board's policy
looking toward "ultimate" nonracial faculty assignments by subi
stituting "imme dl ath" for="ultimate.” The court found nothing
wrong with the transfer policies which had resulted in the
transfer of all the white children living in Negro sb iardames
zones to white schools.
Plaintifrls appealed. This Cont. in a decision rendered in
October 1966, affirmed, noting that all of the ten black schools
had beer. closed (369 F.2d 29). The essence of the holdings of

the district court and the court of appeals was that the board

had no affirmative duty to desegregate,
11. The Green and Brewer Motions and the April
1969 Order. (September 1968 - April 1969)
‘ | Er |
Following the Supreme Court's decisions in Green v. County
|
School Board of New Kent County, 391 U.S. 430 (1968); Monroe v.
Board of Commissioners, 391 U.S. U50 (1968); and Raney v. Board
of Education, 391 U,8. 443 (1968), and this Court's decision in
Brewer vy. School Board of City of Norfollr, 397 7.28 37 (1968),
the SLoAREL ory filed a motion in September 1968 praying the
court to direct immediate affirmative steps to eliminate all
present racial discrimination and all vestiges of past discrim-
ination (IIA Item 1). The plaintiffs engaged in extensive dis-
(See docket entries 28-46.) The court heard testimony
days in March 1969 and received inte evidence numerous
exhibits.
On April 23, 1969, the court entered its first opinion and
order (300 F. Supp. 1358; IA la). The court made detailed and
extensive findings and conclusions. The court found that the
system remained segregated both as to pupils and faculty.
In its recent Supplemental Memorandum the court summarized
the April Order as follows: |
However, certain significant findings and conclu-
slons were made which have been of record without
appeal for eleven months. .These include the folloving:
1. The schools were found to be unconstitutionally
segregated.
2+ Freedom of choice had ralled; no white ehild
had chosen to attend any-black school, and freedom
of choice promoted ratirer* than reduced segregation.
—-5-
| ;
3. The concentration of black population
in northwest Charlotte, and the school segre-
gation which accompanied it were primarily
the result of discriminatory laws and govern-
mantal practices rather tran of natural
"neighborhood" forces. (This finding was
re-affirmed in the order of November 7, 1969.)
i. The board had located and controlled
the size and population of ‘schools 80 88.10
maintain segregation.
oF The plan approved and put into effect
in 1965 had not eliminated unlawful segrega-
tion.
6. The defendants operate a sizeable fleet
of busses, serving over 23,000 children at an
average annual cost (to state and local govern-
‘ments combined) of not more than $40 per year
per pupil. 3/
7. Transportation by bus is a Joshilimate
tool for school boards to use to gonegrens te
schools.
8. Faculties were segregated, and should
be desegregated.
9, Under Groen v. New Kent County School
Board, 391 U.S. 430 (1968), there was now an
active duty to eliminate segregation. (IIA
Item 43, pp. 2-3.)
The court directed the board to submit plans for faculty
and student desegregation by May 15, 1909. What was required
Ya plan for the active and complete for faculty desegregation was
desegregation of the teachers in the Charlotte-lecklenburg school
system, to be effective with the 1969-70 school year" by "seeking
to apportion teachers to each school on substantially the same
~
3/ In response to defendants’ mation to ‘amend the supplemental
findings, the court has re-examined’the evidence and found that
the total figure is closer to 420-00" rather than $40.00,
lye
ratio (about three to one) as the PALI Of white teachers and
black teachers in the system at large’ (300 FP. Supp. at 1373).
As to students, the board was "directed to submit 4a plan
and a timetable for the active deservenation of the pupils, to
be prodonthstoy effective in the fall of 1969 and to be com-
pleted by the fall of 19700 :{31d8.)i
———
III. The May Plan and the June 1969 Order.
(May - June, 1969)
On May 14, 1969, upcn application by defendants the court
granted a two week extension of time for filing the plans.
The next aay, plaintiffs a of all School eon
struction contending that actions taken by the board demon-
strated that the plan to be filed would not approach constitu-
tional standards and that further construction would reinforce
the dual system for years to come.
The defendants' first desearemation plan vas submitted on
lay 28, 1968 (IIA Item 6). On June k, 1969, the court added
the individual members of the board as defendants and directed
the board to answer certain questions (IA 32a, 352),
The plaintiffs filed objections to the plan and moved for
contempt citations of the defendants claiming that members of
the board had deliberately violated the requirements of the:
April 23 order (IIA Item 10).
The court held hearings on the board's plan on June 15, 17
and 18 (IIA Item 11). In an Opinion and Order entcred June 20,
Eh 55
| )
1969, the court found the plan lacking in every respect (300 F.
Supp. 1381; TA 36a). The court noted that the superintendent
had developed ¢nd proposed a plan tc tlre board which woud have
desenvenalod the ‘faculty as ordered and would have produced
some further student desegregation for the 1969-70 school year
(Superintendent's Plan, IIA Ttem 12). The court noted that
"[t lhe Board then met, struck out virtually all the effective
provisions of the superintendent's plan, pid anked for more time
from the court ...." (300 P. Supp. at 1333), The court addressed
the issue of gerrymandering which had been passed over in the’
April Order and found that the board had controlled zones of
black schools to keep the schools all-black (300 F. Supp. at
1385). A new plan was required by August 4, 1969.
IV. The July Plan and the August 1969 Orders
(June, July and August, 1969) |
The board filed its second plan. on July. 29. 1969 (IIA Item
37). The plan was reviewed by the court on August 5.106090 (IIA
Item 19). The plan provided for the transportation of 4,245
inner-city black students to outlying white schools. Of these
children, 3,000 would come from 7 schools which were being closed
and 1,245 would come from overcrowded black schools. The board
proposed some further faculty desegregation Por tha fall and
complete faculty desegregation for 1970-71. ‘The board would
retain all other racially discriminatory featurzs of the school
system. It did propose, however, to study its bul lan Propring
and such measures as altering attendance lines, pairing,
eG
clustering and other techniques in order to dovaion a compre-
hensive desegregation proposal.
The plaintiffs objected to the Plan on the grounds that it
left many schools segregated for yet ahobher year and placed the
"full burden of desegregation upon black children.
The court, in an order entered on August 15, 1969 (IA,
25a) approved the proposed pupil reassignments for the 1969-70
Sonoe? year "only (1) with great reluctance, (2) as a one year
SBunerary Sai rahmenent and (3) with the distinct reservation
that 'one-wayY bussing! plans for the years after 1969-70 will
not be acceptable." The board was ordered to file a third
plan by November 17, 1969, "making full use of zoning, pairing,
grouping, clustering, transportation and other techniques ...
having in mind. as its goal for 1970-71 the complete desegregation
of the entire system to the maximum oxbent possible.” |
Upon application of defendants, the ccurt modified the.
August 15 order on August 29 to allow for the reopening of a
black inner-city school to serve up to 600 inner-city children
who chose not to be transported to suburban white schools (IA
57a).
V. Motions by the Plaintiffs for Contemnt and Immediate
Desegregation and by the School Beard for Delay and
the October and November, 1969 Orcers.
(September —- November, 1969)
Shortly following the beginning of the school year, the
plaintiffs, on September 2, 1969, asiied the court for the sccond
we
time to find the defendants in contempt for failing to implement
-0 on
its July plan as ordered by the SRE] The plaintiffs Punthep
requested that the reheois be completely desenremated Poni
dlately (TIA Ttem 21). | i
On October 2, 1969, the le fendan ts moved for a three-
month extension of time to file its plan. They claimed that
they had employed a computer expert {to assist them in restruc-
turing attendance lines and that it would require additional
time to prepare a plan. The plaintiffs objected, pointing
out that the board proposed to affect only a few schools, and
had rejected such necessary methods as pairing and clustering
and had already demonstrated in its previous submissions that
it was unwilling to do what ts necessary to desegregate the
schools. |
The court, having before it the motions of plaintiffs
alleging non-compliance and of the defendants seeking delay,
‘entered an order on October 10, 1969, requiring the board to
submit specific information concerning the implementation of
the July plan and the board's request for an extension of time
(IA 59a),
After receiving defendants' report (IIA Item 23) and
AERA RN TTT TTT the court entered an order denying the
extension. (Memorandum Opinion and Order, November 7, 1969,
IA 7la, 73a.) The court held that further extension of time
was precluded by Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education,
396 U.S. 19, ‘decided the week before. Yoreover, the court found
the answers to the questions posed in the October 10 order highly
=1 0%
| 4
| /
unsatisfactory. "By the responses to the October 10 questions,
‘the board has indicated that its members do not accept the duty
to desegregace the schools at any ascertainable time; and they
have indicated that they intend not to do it effective in the
fall of i1o70."
The court also reviewed the progress under the July plan.
The defendants' report showed that "only 1,315 instead of the
pronounced 4,245 black pupils" had been assigned to white
schools. (The court noted in its Supplemental Memorandum (IIA
Item 43) that even this figure appeared to be high. The defend--
ants'. March 13, 1970, response to plaintiffs’ request for
admissions showed only 767 black students being transported (TIA
Item 38).) The court commented: "The ‘performance’ gap is
wide." .
VI. The November Plan and. the December Orders :
(November - Decembery- 1969)
The defendants filed their third plan on November 17, 1969
(IA 8la). The plaintiffs promptly objected (IIA Item 24). Phe
court issued an Opinion and Order on December 1, 1969, reject
the the plan (IA 195a). The November submission was a description
of method rather than a plan. The board preposed to alter attend-
ance lines to attempt to produce descgregation of some schools,
but limited the schools to which whites would attend to those
where the white enrollment would be at least 60%. It rejected
further consideration of other;mzthods. stich. zs pairing, grouping
-
~~"
clustering. There was no assurance of how much, 1f any,
desegregation would result. No timetable was proposed for
further student or faculty desegregation. Even as to, what
; | y T
proposed, the board stated: adi
It ‘is important that the Court does not
construe the information submitted in the
plan relating to racial ratios of elementary
students as being in the nature of a guaran-
tee by the board since if is anticipated the
results of restructuring the attendance
lines may produce a greater or lesser degree
of desegregation, the extent of which cannot
be determined at this time.
(See pages 662-673 of "Report of School Board Submitted in
Connection with Amendment to Plan" in original record on appeal.)
Faced with the board's acknowledged refusal to produce a
plan which would comply with the orders of the court and with
the Supreme Court's decision in Alexander v. Holmes County
Board of Education, 396 U.S. 19, the district court was consti-
:
tutionally obligated to devise a plan, On December 2, 1 9
court appointed Dr. John A. Finger, Jr. of Rhode Island College
fo assist. the ‘court in preparing a plan for desegregation of
the schools. (IA, 195a, 115a.) The board was directed to
cooperate with Dr. Pinret raid £0 provide him with a place to
assist
court again, however, invited the board to bring in a plan.

(January - February, 1970)
On January 20, 1970, the plaintiffs renewed their mctions
of September 1968 and September 1969 for the smmediine desegre-
gation of the schools (IIA Ttem 25). The plaintiffs asserted
that uwndey recent decisions of the Supreme Court and this Court
they were entitled. to immediate relief. They asked the court to
Girect Dr. Pinger to file nis S158 for implementation at once.
The Sour ineYs hearings Sn pialnpI Ls! motion on February
2, ang. 5, 1970. The board presented 1%s fourth and final plan
on February 2 (IA 119a). Its plan was again limited to arbors
ing attendance lines. The Finger Plan, in its final form, "was
prepared by the school staff and was filed with the court by
representatives of the school board on February 25-1870" (Sup~
plemental Findings, 32; 114 Item 42). The Pinger Plan utilized

other methods such as pairing, clustering and satellite zones
as well as altering attendance lines.
On February 5s 1970. the art directed implementation of a
Plan for elementary schools by April 1, 1670, and for junior and
senior high schools ‘by May U4, 1970, which incorporated parts of
both the board's plan of February 2, 1970, and the Finger Plan
(IA 1433). The court accepted the board's plan so far as it
produced desegregailion and, where. it fell short, the court sub -
stituted provisions of the Pinger Plan. Thus, with respect to

The order further required the board to offer transporta-
tion to children "whose attendance in any school is necessary
to bring about the reduction of segregation and who live farther
from the school to whicu they are assigned than the board
5/
determines to be walking distance."
With respect to all provisions of the order, however, the
court stated:
The duty imposed by the law and by this
order 1s the desegregation of schools and
the maintenance of thaticondition. The

VIII. Appeals, Stays and L Further Findings
(February - March, 1970) rd
The school board. and 7 of its 9 members Have. noel oe of
appeal on Pabrudry 25, 1970, from the order entered on
Pehruary 5, and ten of the prior orders {IA 15643). On:lareh 2,
J870, the board applied fo Circuit Judge J. Braxton Craven
for a stay of the district court order. ! the plaintiffs
; :
|
N
responded on March 3, 1970.
Judge Craven referred the matter Lo the full court and
on Kavch 5, 1970, the court stayed the portions of the ordar
requiring cross-busing of elementary students to the paired
oA
schools, ordered the remaining provisions of the order imple-
mented according to the timetable established by the district
court, directed the district court to make supplemental find-
ings with respect to transportation and expedited the appeals.
N
After receiving additional evidence from the parties,
the district court filed a Supplemental Memorandum and Supple-
mental Findings on March 21, 1970 (IIA Items 42, 43).
The following ‘day the defendants renewed their application g : Mh
for a stay with the Court of Appeals. However, before this
Court acted upon defendants' application, the district cours,
on March 25, 1970, stayed all further desegregation, sua sponte
until September 1, 1970. The court acted on what appeared to it
to be a change in the requirements of immediacy since its
February 5 decision.
=15-
On March 26, 1970, the plaintiffs filed woeioe of appeal
from the district court order of liarch 25, . responded lin 0opO-
sition to the defendants’ application for stay in the Court of
Appeals and moved the Court of Appeals to vacate the stay
issued by the district court and for an grder directing imme-
diate osname. The defendants! motion for a stay and
plaintiffs’ motion to vacate the district court stay are how
pending. |
The plaintiffs filed another motion in the Court of
Appeals on March 27, 1970, seeking dismissal of the appoals
fromthe orders entered prior to Pebruary 5, 1970. This
motion is also pending. |
4. 3
The activities and obstructive and evasive efforts of
the school board, state officials and sone private citizens
throughout this S14 ination are quite reminiscent of the early
efforts of some states to avoid compliance with Brown. See,
e.2., Note, The Federal Courts and Integration of Southern
Schools: Troubled Status of the Pupil Placement Acts, 62 Colum.
‘L. Rev. 1048, 1450-59 (1962).
Following the April 23 order of the district court tonal
and state officials and sone elves citizens initiated con-
certed efforts to preserve the status quo. In response "to
the hue dine which had been raised zbout 'bussing' Ilecklenburg
representatives in the General Assembly of North Carolina sought
-
=16
£ r— \

and procured passage Of "the so-called 'anti-bussing' statute,
N.C. G.8.115=176.0% LITA Iter 43, p. 4.) Although state
and local orfieinis round no objections to the board's plan
in July 1969 to bus 4,245 black students to white schools,
violent objections were raised to any assignment and Eraninortad
4
tion of white students to previously all-black schools. Some
local citizens organized the Concerned Parents Association with
the avowed purpose of protecting the "neighborhood" schools and
preventing "bussing." ,They obtained 3 state court injunctions <
(January 30, February 12, and on a Sunday night, February 22,
21970) to thwart or prevent: desegregation of the schools and
the implementation of the district court "orders. The Governor
of the State and the State Superintendent issued orders and
direéErives seeking to prevent any state funding for transporta-
Clon of students to qdesegregate the schools.
In seeking to Shbtent the authority and orders of the
district court, plaintiffs moved on July 22, 1969, for leave
to file a supplemental complaint to challenge the new anti-busing
statute and to add the State Sup=rintendent and State Board of
Education as parties darendants. The court allowed the motion:
on the same date (IIA Items 1h, 15.16). Ho rovihat procesda
ings were held on this matter until after the February 5 order,
since not until then did anyone contend that the anti-busing
statute would inhibit the school board from desegregating the
schools, Thus, on February 20, 1970, the or a court
requested designation of. a three-judge SohL to determine the
; |
i
=17%
constitutionality of the statute (IIA Item 29). Such designa-
tion was made on Pebruary 23, 19740,
< On Pebruary 27,1970, even prior Lo the partial stay
-
granted by this Court, the school board amounced that it had
ceased all preparation to comply with the, district court's
. FJ ju
order and would follow the third state court restraining order
(February 22) Since the board preferred the state court order
£0 that of the district court. The school board further con-
® sented to an indefinite continuance of the second state court
order enjoining the board from purchasing or operatine schol
buses (February 12). The first order, as modified, restricting
payment to Dr. Piheop remains in effect; he has not yet been
fully paid.
“On February 25, 1970, the district court, on motion of
the plaintiffs (IIA Item 28), added as parties-defendant the
~
Governor of the State, the Controller for the State Board,
¢ the state judge who l1lssued the February 12, 1970, restraining
order, and several private citizens ‘who initiated the state
court proceedings (IIA Item 31). By order dated March 6, 1970,
‘the district court suspended the third state court order of
Pebruary 22, 1970, and referred the matter to the three-judge
court (IIA Item 35).
After defendants secured a continuance of the three-judge
court hearing and after repeated ef Torts by the State Attorney
General and counsel for the additional parties-defendant to
aisquality tha district judge had falled, the three-judge court
|

| heard arguments on March 24, 1970.
STATEMENT OF THE FACTS
Over the course of the litigation below, the District
6/
Court made extensive findings of fact. Each succeeding order
‘ | |
reflects a comprehensive analysis of new submissions of evi-
dence by the parties and the cumulative evidence already before
the court.
The Charlotte—-Mecklenburg School &
=
The first opinion gave a detailed description of the
school system, the community wh Lt serves and the extent
of racial segregation within the schools. (IA 1, 8-11, 14-21.)
We only summarize here some of the salient facts contained
in the April opinion.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School System serves more than
82,000 pupils residing in the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg
County. In April, 1969, there were 107 PH including 76
elementary schools (grades 1-6), 20 junior high schools (grades
7-9) and ll senior high schools (grades 10-12). The system
employed approximately 4,000 teachers and nearly 2,000 other

leading to this appeal: Opinion and Order, April 23, 1969,

24, 1969 (IA 443A); Order, August 15, 196% (IA 45); Memorandum

employees. The racial composition of the students in the
‘
system was approximately 71% white and. 29% ‘black. The
L]
esidential patterns of the.county were sufficiently integrated
In}
so that most of the county school zones included both black
and white students. No all-black schools remained in the County.
In the city, however, the residential areas were and are gen-
1/
erally segregated by race, and most schools were racially
identifiable.
® The court .found that 14,000 of the 24,000 black students
in the system were attending schools which were at least 99%
black. {IA 15.) ' The courl further found that most of the
desegregated city schools .were in transition from a previously
/
all-white enrollenent to all-black.
The school system had been growing at approximately 3,000
Y | g PE Y
students per year, requiring an on-going school construction
program. With few exceptions, the size and placement Of ‘the

was produced at the March 1969 hearings. The April order
describes the housing patterns and some of the forces which
created them. ‘The matter is examined agein in subsequent
: orders, particularly the Order of November 7, 1969. (IA 13.)
The court's conclusion was that housing segregation in Charlotte
has been substantially determined by governmental action. We
describe the underlying facts in a subsequent section.
«
—_—,
8/ In June, after further analysis of the data, the court con-
cluded .that approximately 21,000 of the 24,000 black students
in the system lived within the city of Charlotte and that nearly
17,000 of them were attending black or nearly all-black schools.
The figure is even greater if the black students attending
schools which are rapidly becoming all-black are included.

The court found faculties segregated. The great adorivy
of the 900 black teachers were teaching in black schools.
There was less than one white teacher per ‘black elementary
school. The two black high schools had teaching staffs more
than 80% black.
The court concluded that the board's policies of zoning,
free transfer and its school. placement had contributed to and
continued an unlawfully segregated public school system. It
also concluded that the faculties had not been desegregated as
required by the 1965 order. The board was directed to produce
plans for.the active desegregation of the pupils and faculties
by May 15, 1969.
Gerrymandering
In the April opinion the court passed over plaintiffs’
assertions that school zone lines had been drawn and maintained
8/. (Continued) which lists 11 schools which served 5,502
white pupils and no black pupils in 1954, which served 5,010
pupils of which 35% were black in 1965 and which in 1968
served 5,757 students, 81% of whom were black.) The court also
found that nearly 19,000 of the more than 31,000 white elemnen-
tary students attended schools which were nearly all-white.
There are only 150 black students attending these schools.)
More than one half of the 14,741 white junior high school stu-
dents attended schools with a total black population of 193.
'9/ The new black schools were generally "walk-in" schools
while the white schools were placed some distance from the
areas which they serve. (IIA; ten 42.)

ster segregation because the court had assumed that the
|
board would develop a comprehensive desegregation program.
the board filed its May Plan which included no proposals
| {
ezoning or for altering basic assignment patterns, the
: | :
court specifically found a pattern of gerrymandering.
"[I]t 'may be timely to observe and the court finds as
a fact that no zones have apparently been created or
maintained for the purpose of promoting desegregation;
that the whole plan of 'building schools where the
pupils are' without further control promotes segregation;
and that certain schools, for example Billingsville,
Second Ward, Bruns Avenue and Amay James, obviously
serve school zones which were either created or which
have been controlled so as to surround pockets of
black students and that the result of these actions is
discriminatory. These are not named as an exclusive
list of such situations, but as illustrations of a
long-standing policy of control over the make-up of
schocl population which scarcely fits any true 'neigh-
borhood school’ philosophy. (Opinion and Order,
June 206, 1969, IA 36, 42.)
The Impact of Segregation on Black: Students
The court found that the impact of segregation on black
students in the system had resulted in the denial of equal
educational opportunities. Comparative test results showed a |S
wide disparity in achievement between students attending all-
black schools and students attendiag white and integrated
-t wt
schools. (Order, August 15, 1969, 1A 45, 52; Opinion and
Order, December 1, 1969, IA 105, "109; Supslemental Findings
of Pact, March 21, 1970,. 115, Item 42, p.9').

The Schools Today
In the Novembe) Memorandum Opinion the court set out in
detail the racial characteristics of the {school system during
-~
the 1268-70 school year. {In-73,..75-77.)1 Iniits rec ent Supple-
1 Memorandum, the court quoted these November findings.
(IIA Item 43, pp. 7-9.) The oourt concluded that there had. been
no real improvement from the segregated situation found during the
previous school year.
"Of the 24,714 Negroes in the schools, thing above
8,500 are .ttending ‘'white' schools o: 1s not
readily id ntifiable by race, Mor ), how-
ever, are trwiocusly still in a ll-Hlne r predominantly
Black schon. a. «The 9,216. "in. 100% plait situations
are consic Hhly more than the number of black students
in Charlot: = in 1954 at the. time of the first Brown
decision. ~2 black school problem has not been solved.
The scho:ls are still in major part se prognted or
Jual' rathor than desegregated or 'unitary'.”
(15.73, .76)
Analyzing the same figures in a later order, the court
pointed out that "Nine-tenths of the faculties are still obvious ly
black’ or.'white'!. Over 45,000 of the 59,000 white students
still attend schools which are obviously white." (Opinion and
Order, December 1, 1969, IA 105, 108.)
The court also determined that the free transfer provision
in the board's plan negated any progress which the July plan
: 10/
might have produced. It. also found that attemplls jesegre-
gate the schools by altering attendance lines would continue to
1s long as students could exercise a freedom of choice.

In the Findings of Fac April 23,1969, Charlotte and
IS
Mecklenburg County were described as follows:
4 "The central city may be likened to an automobile
hub cap, the perimeter area to a wheel, and the
county area to the rubber tire. Tryon Street and
the Southern Railroad run generally through the
county and the city from northeast to southwest.
Trade Street runs generally northwest to southeast
and crosses Tryon Street at the center of town
at Independence Square. Charlotte originally grew
along the Southern railroad fracks., Textile mills
with mill villages, once almost entirely white,
were built. Business and other industry followed
the highways and the railroad. The railroad and
parallel highways and business and industrial
development formed something of a barrier between
east and west.
By the end of World War II many Negro families
~~ 3 ~ 3» ig Fo i -~ nd fg Pp Ju dl - 73% cw a

The court had made similar findings in June:
"Freedom of transfer increases rather than decreases
segregation. The School Superintendent testified that
there would be, net, more than 1,200 additional white
students going to predominantly black schools if free-
‘dom Of transfer were abolished." . (IA 36, 40.)
Moreover, during the choice period prior to the 1969-70 ‘school
year, two .vhite students out of 59,000 elected to transfer
to black schools and only 330 black students out of 24,000
chose to transfer to white schools... (1d.) |

} bh /
‘Independence Square in what is known as the First
Ward-Second Ward-Cherry-Brooklyn area. However,
the bulk of Charlotte's black population lived
west of the railroad and Tryon Street, and north
of Trade Street, in the northwest part of town.
The high priced, almost exclusively white, country
was east of Tryon Street and south of Trade in the
Myers Park-Providence-Sharon-Eastover areas.
Charlotte thus had a very high degree of segrega-
tion of housing before the first Brown decision." Y/
Today the degree of segregation in housing is even more
pronounced.
There are approximately 365,000 citizens in the County;
approximately 270,000 reside within the central city.
Approximately 90,000 of the inhabitants in the city are
black and % of the black inhabitants reside west of the
Tryon Street-Southern Railroad dividing line. (Ira, Item 4 ry
PP 41-76, 77-83; See also Plaintiffs! FPxnhibits 4 and
&
Box 1 of Original Record on Appeal.) As found by the
Court, several factors have-contributed to the city's
gated housing patterns.
l. City Zoning. City zoning practices have played a
pervasive role in creating and perpetuating the separation of
{£
the races. PRBeglmning in 1957, with the first zoning ordinance,
the city clearly delineated the black and white residential
areas. All white residential areas were zonegd residential
with restricted land usage. ‘All black residential areas
were zoned industrial with multi-land usage, including heavy
7 / multi-family homes and nigh density areas. (ITA
Item 4, pp. 578-581, 657-678; Plaintiffs’ Exhibi in Box
1 of Original Record on Appeal.) This difference in the
zoning practices. for black and white veri dantind areas has
-
been carried forward to the present day in 12 major revisions
r- of the zoning ordinance in 1962. Industrial zones have
continued to be restricted to black residential a;
Additionally, what
ized for the black ity
zones, R-6 and R-S NO black residential area in the city
today has a higher density zone than R- while principally
all white residential areas have restricted zoning of R-12,
R-15 or above. (IIa, Ttem 4, pp. 582-586; Plaintiffs’
Exhibit 10 in Box 1 of Original Record on Appeal.)
2. '€ity Planning. City planning has further enforced
segregation in housing. In a comprehensive proposal in 1260
entitled "The Wexi Twenty Years," (Plaintiffs’' Pxhibit 12
in Box l of the Original Record on Appeal) the City Planning
LJ
Commission proposed he continuation of kasically the same
discriminatory zoning practices with high density zoning and
multi-~-land nsage in black residential areas and restricted
zoning in the white residential areas. This proposal was
largely enacted by the City Council in the revised zoning
code OF 19862, (IIA, item 4,.Dp. 562-572 ; Plaintiffs’ axhibit
10 in Box 1 of the Original Record on Appeal.)
3. Urban Renewali. Urban renewal has contributed to the
residential s egation by relocating black families from
urban renewal areas to black residential areas. Principally,
Cot Jara
all of the black citizens who are relocated by the city urban

relocated in white residential area: A similar practice has
prevailed in the relocation of families uprooted by new streets
and highways. The District Court characterizes this practice po J -r
as follows:
"Under the urban renewal program thousands of
Negroes were moved out of their shotgun houses
in the center of town and have relocated in the
low rent areas to the west. This relocation of
course involved many ad hoc decisions by individuals
and by city, county, state and federal governments.
Federal agencies (which hold the strings to large
federal purses) reportedly disclaim any responsi-
bility for the direction of the migration; they
>
27-7
reportedly say that the selection of urban rencwal
‘sites and the relocation of displaced persons are
matliers of decision ("freedom of choice"?) by local
individuals and governments. This may be correct;
the clear fact however is that the displacement
occurred with heavy federal financing and with active
participation by local governments, and it has fur-
ther concentrated Negroes until 95% or so of the
city's Negroes live west of the Tryon-railroad area,
or on its immediate eastern fringes. (IA, p. 11;
IIA, Item 4, Dp. 587-598: Plaintiffs’ Exhibits 13,
14, 195 and 42 in. Box 1 of Original Record on Appeal.)
4..Public Housing. Consistent with the city's zoning
practice of providing for low-income housing in black
residential areas, all public housing, now principally
in black residential
areas. (IIa, Item 4, pp. 588, : Plaintiffs Exhibits
39 and 42 in Box 1 of Original Record on Appeal.)
5. Streets and Public Highways. Streets and public
highways have further perpetuated the barriers between the 9 :
races. Streets have been designed to provide ease of communi-
cation only within the white or black residential areas with
little measure of communication between them. Additionally,
one of the major interstate routes now being constructed
through the city, the North-South Expressway, further marks,
along with Tryon Street-Southern Railroad, the division be-
tween the racially separate residential areas. {(TIA, Item 4,

* In the November decision the District Court put together
its previous findings on forces contributing to residential
segregation in the City of Charlotte and the suizsayguent
findings of gerrymandering by ») Poard. The court
concluded: "There 1s sO much State action imbedded in and
shaping these events that the resulting szgregation is not
innocent or 'de facto', and the resulting schools are not
-
'unitary' or desegregated." (IA 73, 76-77.)
Tra msportation
The court First considered the matter oF Fe the transportation
system operated by the defendants in ihe April 1969 order.
EL)
"Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board today for example g
orting 22,000 students on school buses. First wo | I
the largest group 80 transported.” (IA.1,::17.) ..7The court
considered the cost of transportation.
"The present cost of ‘school busing is about $19
for bus operation plus the cost of the bus which
at $4,500 per bus should not exceed $20 per pupil
a year. In other words, it costs aboul $40 a year
per pupil to provide school bus transportation,
out of total per pupil operating costs of about
540." {IA 1, 17-18.)
This figure first determined in April of 1969 and repeated in
several subsequent orders was not challenged by the defendants
until March 25, 1970. (ITA, Item 44.) The defendant then
claimed that the figure was too high. Apparently, the Court's
calculations overestimated the replacement cost of a bus per
pupil and overlooked the fact that new buses are inititally
purchased by the local board but replaced by
The court also observed that buses had been used for many
schools and that there is "no reason except

on this subject in all the years before 1 studied the facts)
why school busses can not be used by the board to provice the

flexibility and economy necess: desegregate the schools.™
Busses are cheaper than new buildings; sing them might even
keep property taxes down." (TA), 18.)
Facts relating to bussing were next considered by the
court in the August 15, 1969 order approving what appeared tobe
the transportation of 4,200 black inner-city children to out-
lying white suburban schools. The board report file
port of its July plan (IIA Item 18.) included a statement by
the board explaining the transportation requirements for the
~~
3,000 black children from the seven schools which would be closed.
12/ The school board took full advantage of the emotional possi-
bilities of the "bussing"issue and fed and encouraged community
hostility to thig and all aspects Of the court's April order.
In reviewing the Board's first plan the court observed:
"In a county and city criss-crossed by school bus
routes for 23,000 pupils, more than 20,000 citizens,
most from affluent suburbia, many of whose children
undoubtedly go to school on school busses, signed
petitions against 'involuntary' bussing of students.
The frenzy of parents received a ready forum in
televised meetings of the Board." (Opinion and
Order, ‘June 20,1969, 11x 36, 37.)
31
"But what are the implications of the plan from the
standpoint of the cost? . The Board intends to offer
the transferred students transportation. This will
cosl money- both to buy the equipment and to operate
this equipment. The Business Service Department
estimictes that we would need to spend an additional
$98,000 for the extra vehicles needed and that the
operating cost would be about $30 per pupil or
about. .$90,000... By comparison, commercial transpor--
tation costs are estimated at $45 per pupil or
$135,000 per year. A maximum estimate of transpor-
tation costs for the 3,000 pupils from the seven
closed schools using our own department would be
about $188,000. "137
The report went on to explain that $330,000 worth of
mobile units and eguipment would be necessary at the schools
receiving the black students. The board thei: indicated that
money was available.
"There are, however, some figures which might be
examined on the other side of the ledger. The
$383,000 slated for purchase of a few additional
acres for the Metropolitan High School site could
be used for other purposes. The $100,000 used to
add to the Zeb Vance property could be reclaimed
through sale. 3ond monies tentatively allocated
to some of these schools could be restudied. Much
of the property could be declared surplus and sold."
13/
These "maximum" figures of transportation costs for a plan
which the board wanted to defend becawre relevant for the court
when it considered transportation needs and costs for the
February 5 plan. $98,000 produces 18 busses at $5,400 a bus.
18 busses transporting 3,000 students is an average of 1lll stu-
dents per bus. The supplemental findings of costs made by the
Court on March 31, 1970 were entirely consistent with the
estimates made by the board in June of 1869.

desegregation plan having a value in excess of $3,000,000;

which "could be declared surplus and sold."
When the court entered its order on February 5,
2 requiring mid-year desegregation, the matter of transportation
was again reviewed:
SN
\
"IT IS ORDERED:
7. That transportation be offered on a uniform
non-racial basis to all children whose [reassignment
to any school] is necessary to bring about the reduc-
tion of segregation and who live farther from the
school to which they are assigned than the oard
determines to be walking distance. Estimates of the
number of children who may have to be transported.
have run as high as 10,000 or.more. Since the cost
to the local system is about $18 or $20 a year per
pupil, and the cost to the State in those areas where
the State provides transportation funds is about
another $18 or $20 a year per pupil, the average cost
