SCOTT V. WS/FC BOARD OF EDUCATION DISMISSED

A judge dismissed the Catherine Scott v. Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education case; returned control to the local education officials.
WS/FCS has operated under a voluntary desegregation plan since 1981.

School Board developed a new pupil assignment plan for the 1984-1985 school year. A three-level grade structure is used:  K–5, 6–8, and 9–12. Integration is to have been maintained through school pairings clusters and satellite zones and cross busing. The objective is to produce racially balanced schools within  +  5% of the grade level racial ratio.
