| wise | FINDINGS OF FACT AND RECOMMENDAT IONS   
  By order dated November 7, 1969, the Fifth Circuit 

| Court of Appeals in the above docketed Cisas, Nos. 28030 and 

28042, directed the Canton Municipal Separate School District, 

among other school districts, to adopt the school integration 

plan offered by the Office of Education of the Department of   
Health, Education and Welfare. The said order also set forth   { 

f procedures by which the HEW plan could be modified. Prior to   the implementation of the HEW plan at the beginning of the 

| second semester of the 1969-70 school year, the Canton school | 

had a total enrollment of 4998 students, 3672 black 4rd 1326 

white. After the implementation, total attendance dropped to 

3697, of which 3661 students were black and only 36 were white. 

On August 18, 1970, the school board filed its motion for 

modification with this Court, alleging that, as the HEW plan had 

resulted in a more than 997 black attendance with a loss of 1290 

white students, the plan was not working nor was it administrative- 

ly or economically feasible... After unsuccessful conferences by

this Court with all parties seeking a mutually acceptable plan, 

and, after a full hearing on all issues, this Court, on October   
6, 1970, issued its Findings of Fact and Recommendations. On | 

October 14, 1970, the appropriate panel of the Appellate Court   | | 

| issued its order approving the student assignment plan recommend- | 
| 

| ed by this Court and adopted this Court's findings of fact and | 

recommendations. On October 16, 1970, the same panel stayed its | 

order pending receipt of the record and until further order of | 

the Court, assigning mo reasons therefor. On November 13, 1970, 

this Court received a copy of a letter addressed to counsel of 

record and signed by the Clerk of the Fifth Circuit Court of 

Sopsals stating: 

| "The court has reached the tentative conclusion that the 

district court erred in approving a plan based on the present: 

composition of the student body from a racial standpoint rather     than on the composition at the time the dual system was dis-   established. Having reached this determination, it follows that 

| the plan approved by the district court must be considered in 

light of student residences regardless of their attendance in 

public schools. 

The court is inclined to approve a combination of the HEW | 

plan and school board plan as follows: 

Canton High (formerly Rogers) Grades 10-12 
system wide   | Canton Junior High (formerly Grades 8-9 

| Canton High) (all students 

residing East of U. S. Highway 
51 to attend this school) 

| Rogers Junior High Grades 8-9 
I (all students residing West 

of U. S. Highway 51 to 
attend this school)     

| 
| 

| 
| 

 



  

  

    

Nichols Elementary Grades 5-7 
(system wide) 

Canton Elementary Grades 1-4 
(all students residing South 

of U. S. Highway 22-16 to at- 
tend this school) 

McNeal Elementary Grades 1-4 
(all students residing North 

of U. S. Highway 22-16 to at- 
tend this school) 

In this connection the school board is directed to 

supply the following data by December 1, 1970: 

(1) The student population, by race, assum- 

ing all children resident in the stated zones 
attended the named schools and the capacity 
of each school: 

(a) Canton Junior High 

(b) Rogers Junior High 

(¢) Nichols Elementary (capacity only) 

(d) Canton Elementary 

(e) McNeal Elementary 

The court will appreciate suggestions and objections 

as to the feasibility of this plan." 

This Court was advised of no further action in this 
4 

cause until July 14, 1971, on which date the defendant school 

board filed a motion to modify the original HEW student assign- 

ment plan approved by the Appellate Court on November 7, 1969. 

Prior to a hearing and upon questioning by the Court, all parties 

stated that they have been unable to agree on the suggestions 

appearing in the Clerk's letter of November 13, 1970; that the 

Appellate Court has taken no further action beyond its order of 

October 16, 1970, staying tt iimplenentabion of the plan 

recommended by this Court; and that the school district has 

continued to operate under the original HEW plan. Upon this 

.te of the matter the Court agreed to hear the defendants’ 

3 

  

  
 



  

  

  

    
  

motion to modify. Attorneys for all parties were present and | 

participated. 

In its motion the defendant reported student attendance 

at the end of the 1970-71 school year, its latest figures, as 
| 
| 
| 

follows: |

to 91 in the second semester of 1970-71, the latest enrollment 

reported. : 
  

The board proposes to modify this plan based on a 

projected enrollment for 1971-72 as follows: |

The modifications would assign all first grade students 

to McNeal, all second and third grade students to Canton Elementary,   

in the assignment of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades to Nichols. | 

The plan would provide for the partial closing of Canton Junior

High School, leaving open a band hall to be used for a materials 

center and administrative offices. The board contends that the 

proposals are sound educationally, and administratively, are 

‘economically justified, and are not racially motivated. The board 

showed through its witnesses that, as a result of the drop in 

enrollment over a period of three semesters and a concomitant 

reduction in operating revenues from state funds based on average 

daily attendance, it requested HEW's assistance in studying the 

feasihlity of reassigning students in a manner which would bring 

about maximum economic use of present building facilities without 

changing the desegregation status. This request was forwarded by 

the Atlanta HEW office to the Mississippi Educational Service 

Center, Mississippi State University, which sent a two-man team 

to Canton for an on-site survey. As a result of their survey 

and analysis, this team submitted a written report, approved by 

HEW and made a part of the record herein, in which two proposals 

were made, Alternate I, being the proposal adopted by the board 

and advanced here, and Alternate II consisting of the present 

student assignments except for assigning the seventh grade to 

Canton Public High school. Both plans are analyzed as to their 

advantages and disadvantages; however both recommend the closing

of the team members from the Mississippi Educational Service 

Center. He and the other member, Boren W. McNeill also with a 

batchelor's and master's degree in the field of education and five 

years experience as a teacher, supervisor and principal, both 

testified as to their survey. Both went to Canton on June 10, 

1971, met with the superintendent and various other members of the 

school staff and board and both visited and inspected each school 

in the system. As stated in their report the purpose of the 

survey was ''to study the feasibility of reassigning students in 

a manner which would bring about maximum economic use of present 

building facilities without establishing racially identifiable 

schools as a result of student assignment." 

As a result of their survey, thelr report, as stated 

above, recommends the closing of Canton Junior High school with 

alternate student assignments for which neither Easterwood nor 

McNeil expressed a preference. They listed the advantages of 

Alternate I as follows: 

"a. All children within a grade would attend the = _ 

the same attendance center school, thereby

Although Easterwood acknowledged that neither he nor 

McNeill is an architect or engineer, nonetheless their visual 

inspection of the Canton Junior High school revealed that the 

building is in need of extensive repairs, particularly to the 

roof, and needs a new heating system. He denied on cross- 

examination that the survey was in any manner influenced by the 

school board, nor did he and McNeill confer with any member of 

the HEW team who formulated the present school plan. To the 

contrary he stated that he and McNeill based their report on 

standards generally agreed to by educators. McNeill concurred in 

asterwood's testimony but especially emphasized the educational 

benefits in not isolating the seventh grade. 

Lamar Fortenberry, superintendent of the Canton schools 

since 1965, testified that, as a result of studies of the Canton 

schools made in and prior to 1967 for-the Southern Association 

of Secondary Schools, recommendations were made that the Canton 

High school, the present Canton Junior High, be abandoned and a
