EDWARD Wi SZA 
YRTI ]



  

In support of said motion for hearing and 

modi fication the school district respectfully shows 

unto the Court that under the presen plan the school 

system has broken down and the present plan, instead 

of working, bas failed almost altogether in that 

where Kemper County formerly had two all black schools 

it now has four. 

There are presently approximately 310 white 

children attending private schools, 433 white chil- 

dren attending no school, and 210 Negro children at- 

tending no school, 

The average daily attendance at the various 

attendance centers operated by Kemper County School 

Di: Yom January 22, 1970 (in- We & strict from January 15 to 

clusive) is as follows:

Movants suggest no speclal form of relief 

they feel that a hearing and further considera- 

tion could possibly result in saving the public 

school system of Kemper County, Mississippi, for iL Ys 3 

both the black and white children, and in keeping 

with the guaranties of the United States Constitu- 

tion, 

cesul’ 

The present plan 1s not »ccomplishing that 

in either respect,
