lother plan for desegregation of the schools since the plan now 

  

being followed by the Board fails to disestablish the racially 

segregated and racially identifiable schools in the System. 

Plaintiffs further seek injunctive relief against the disparities 

lexistin ng in the Negro and poor schools in general, relief against 

llthe continued use of freedom of choice as now practiced by the   
[poaza, and relief against the continued location and construction | 

log schools in a manner which perpetuates racially segregated and | 

racially identifiable schools. Plaintiffs also seek further in- 

unctive relief against the continued racial employment and as- 

signment of teachers in the System.   
> The natter was heard by the Court on March 10, 11, 12, 13 and 

17. Following the hearing, the Court directed that counsel sub- 

mit proposed findings and briefs in support of their respective 

positions. This brief is being submitted by plaintiffs pursuant 

Statement of the Case 
  

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board operates 107 public schools, 

76 elementary schools, 20 junior high schools and ll senior high (Te 8 

schools. There are approximately 82,314 students in the School 

1 

System, 26,630 Negro and 58,684 white. The System has approximater ‘   
ly 3,613 terchers in the School System, 903 of whom are Negro.   

Of the 76 elementary schools, 15 are all-Negro, 32 are more 

rh
 

white. Of the 20 junior high schools, 4 are all-Negro od
 

5 o 3 QO
 

J
 

o
n
 

nd 7 are more that 95% white. Of the 11 senior high schools, 2 

are all-Negro and 6 are more than 92% white. The segregation of 

|| students in the schools clearly results from the use of geographic 

attendance zones in a community with clearly defined and segregated 

racial housing. 

The City of Charlotte has approximately 65,750 Negroes and 

197,250 whites. 98% of the Negro residents reside west of the 

line running north and south along Tryon Street and then along       
 



| ® ® 
. ' | Southern Railway. White residents reside principally in the east- 

  

ern part of the City. It is clear that this racial housing pat-~ 

tern has resulted from private and public racial discriminatory     policies and practices. Irrespective, however, of the contribut- 

| ing factors to the racial housing patterns, there is a defined 

| Negro area and a white area within the City. 

Prior to 1954, and by the Board's admission until 1964, all 

|| schools within the System were operated on a racially segregated 
1H 

-
 asis, with Negro students, teachers and school personnel ass.gned 

| to all-Negro schools and white students, teachers and school per- 

| eonnel assigned to white schools. Schools were planned and lo- 

| cated so as to perpetuate these racially discriminatory practices. 

I'ven subsequent to the Court oxder in 1365, the Board constructed 

17 new schools which havebeen located in aress resulting in all- 

rr} , UL \ JEG T TTY. ew 8 a " 223 LE dud pe = non & . white or all-Negro student bodies. In addition, scme student   - aq $ % ~ N Be — TS wm pe np wn Bn ~ - vy jy - Fy a “ Fg =~ - bodies have been re-segregated through the use of freedom of 

| choice which permits white students assigned to predominantly 

Negro schools and Negro students assigned to predominantly white 

| schools to transfer out. 

The location of schools and use of geographic attendance 

zones as established by the Board has tended to promote homogene-~ 

ous grouping of students in the various schools, with principally 

ols and white students 3 O Negro students attending all-Negxrc sch 

attending all-white schools. These practices have further pro-

in certain schools and students fromrore affluent families in

Negro schools and between the 

fees for needed supplies and supplementary material. A further

State which requires that these schools use funds allotted for 

  

other purposes in order to purchase textbook materials. Noted 

  | disparities also exist in school buildings, in school materials | 

and supplies and in the curriculum, particularly in the Junior 

|| high school and high school level. Many of these disparities 

would be corrected by a greater mixture of the students, racially 

and economically. 

H In several schools where racial mixing of the students has 

J 4 taken place, students have been segregated within the schools 

| through "ability grouping”. Such discrimination or segregation of 

| the students is just as repulsive to constitutional equal protec- 

| tion as establishing racially separate schools. Moreover, despite 

| the Court order of 1965 requiring complete desegregation and non- 

|| racial employment and assignment of teachers and school personnel, 

the School Board has continued to employ and assign such personnel 

on the basis of race and has failed to disestablish the racially 

segregated staffs created prior to the 1965 order.

Inecessity for a plan which will clearly and effectively disestab-

School District, 391 U.S. 443. The Court in these cases has again 

made clear that the plan the school board proposes to follow must

ever plan is adopted, however, must be one which promises "realis-

n discharging its obligation to desegregate, it is impera-

tive that school officials be cognizant of any factors within the 

schools ox within the community itself which might inhibit or deter 

|efforts to desegregate. In Brown, the Court made clear that dis-   charge of the Board's responsibility was not to be avoided simply 

by disagreement with them. In Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.8. 1, the 

Court made clear that the constitutional principles set forth in   
AN Brown were not to yield to community hostilities. And where

all Negro schools and schools generally in the legs affluent areas 

  are simply unable to provide equal facilities, supplies and ma- 

terials as those provided in the white and more affluent schools. 

Js efforts have been made by the Board to equalize the funds for 

all schools. Further, free textbooks alloted by the State cannot 

be used by the students in the all-Negro or in less affluent 

schools. Again, the Negro and less affluent schools are required   
materials. Moreover, despite the disparities in the achievement 

levels of the students in the schools, no efforts have been made 

by the Board to enrich the educational programs for the students 

in the under achieving schools, Even before Brown, the Supreme 

Court enjoined unequal educational opportunities. Sweatt v.     Painter, 339 U.S. 629; McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents, 339 U.S. 
      

is clearly, equally violative of the Equal Protection Clause.

is designated as the responsible agency for providing free lunch 

enefits for the children in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School 

  

System. Having undertaken this responsibility with respect to 

ome students or schools, defendant is constitutionally obligated 

to make those benefits available to all children in the system. 

    Griffin v, Illinois, supra.; Griffin v., County School Board of 
  

  

  Defendant provides free lunch for basically all students in

| the elementary schools. Because of a la carte services at some 

  of the junior high and senior high schools, students attending 

these schools are deprived of the free lunch benefits. Defendant 

should be enjoined to present a plan to the Court for providing 

free lunch benefits for all students in the school system who may

continued planning and location of schools and additions to e   | ing schools have clearly failed to disestablish the racially 

| segregated school system. Y%efendant is constitutionally obligates ja
l   

ll to now go further and institute a plan which will in fact elimin- 

ate the all-Negro and all-white schools. Plaintiffs have sub- 

  ted four nroposals which might be followed by the defendant. 
» 

The first alternative plan, however, is merely a beginning of   
leading to complete desegregation. The Courts 

I have established that it is the defendant school board's re- 

| sponsibility and not that of the plaintiffs to come forth with a 

plan that will work. Should the defendant fail to do this, the 
be 

responsibility then devolves upon the Court. In such circum-

tion of Oklahoma City Public Schools v. Dowell, supra.; some 
  

courts have called upon or directed the school officials to make 

use of federal agencies established pursuant to Title IV of the 

Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §2000c et seq.; Banks v. St. 
  

James Parish School Board I. Supp ,» (E.D. La. No. 16,173, Dec 
a nb ——   

10, 1968) a copy of which is attached hereto. Irrespective of 

the procedure to be directed by the Court, it is clear that the 

defendant is constitutionally obligated to do more and plaintiffs 

submit that whatever plan is directed or approved should require 

for each school in the system he percentage assignments of Negro 

and white students to reflect the total number of Negro and white 

students in the school system. Plaintiffs further submit that the 

defendant should be enjoined from continuing to use freedom of 

choice and from locating and constructing schools in a way which 

perpetuates the racially segregated school system. All planned 

construction of new school facilities and all additions to exist-~ 

ing facilities should be enjoined pending a showing by the School 

Board of how these facilities will be integrated. 

Defendant should also be enjoined f£rom failing to provide 

and to insure equal educational opportunities for all students in 

the system and should be required tp present to the Court a plan 

setting forth how this will be accomplished. Defendants should 

also be required to submit a plan setting forth how it will pro- 

vide free lunch for all children in the school system who qualify, 

It is clear that defendant has failed to desegregate sachers 

and has failed to employ and assign teachers and school personnel 

without regard to race or color. Defendant should be enjoined to 

present a plan for desegregation of teachers in the system to be 

affective with the beginning of the 1969-70 school vear providing | 

for the employment and assignment of all teachers in the system 

without consideration of race and the disestablishment of past 

racial assignments so that each school in the system will reflect 

the percentage of white and Negro teachers and school personnel
