MOTION FOR SUPPLEMENTAL RELIEF
1. Upon information and belief, many of the defendant
school districts have construed this court's order of
November 7, 1969, and the appended H.E.W. plans of desegre-
gation, to permit the reassignment of teachers and students
to new school buildings without any requirement that class-
rooms be integrated; defendants intend to maintain the ra-
cial identity of individual classrooms within school build-
ings.
2. Upon information and belief, racial segregation
within school buildings w. ' be achieved by: (1) reassign-
ment of teachers and students as inviolate units from one
school to another, or (2) reassignment of students on the
basis of achievement test results obtained during past
years.
WHEREFORE, plaintiffs, in cases consolidated under
Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education, and private
plaintiff intervenors in U.S. v. Wilkinson County Board of
Education and U.S. v. North Pike County Consolidated School
District, and the NAACP LEGAL AND EDUCATIONAL DEFENSE FUND,
INC., as Amicus Curiae in cases consolidated under U.S. v.
Hinds County Board of Education, move this Court to:
1) order each defendant school district to respond
to the allegations contained in this motion by December 18,
1969;
2) enter an order enjoining defendants and their
agents from segregating students within school buildings
and facilities by race;
3) order that at any given school building within
defendant school districts, the ratio of white to black
students in each classroom approximate the ratio of white
to black students in the school facility as a whole.
