' 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.

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.
