submitted 52 years ago by Pub. L. 93-380 to r/title-20-EDUCATION · 102 words · no verdicts yet
When creating remedies under this chapter, State school-district boundaries generally must be left alone. They may be changed or disregarded only when specified discriminatory purposes or effects caused racial, color-based, sex-based, or national-origin segregation.
When remedies are created under this chapter, the boundaries a State drew to divide its territory into school districts may not be ignored or changed unless it is shown either that the boundaries were drawn, kept, or crossed to segregate children among public schools based on race, color, sex, or national origin, or that discriminatory actions within the districts caused the boundaries to have that segregating effect.
In the formulation of remedies under this chapter the lines drawn by a State subdividing its territory into separate school districts, shall not be ignored or altered except where it is established that the lines were drawn, or maintained or crossed for the purpose, and had the effect of segregating children among public schools on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin, or where it is established that, as a result of discriminatory actions within the school districts, the lines have had the effect of segregating children among public schools on the basis of race, color, sex, or national origin.
