The U. S. Eastern district judge ordered the school board to submit another plan to total ly desegregate the Warren schools by the opening of the 1969-70 school year on or be fore Aug. 19. Following the receipt of Judge Butler's letter on Mon day morning, the board of edu cation met Monday night to discuss another plan. The mem bers expressed the view that steps planned for the 1968-69 years were probably adequate and that the difficulty lies with plans for the 1969-70 school year. Plans for 1969-70 called for the issuing of a $1.5 million bond issue and the building of a consolidated high school for both races and for the transfer of additional teach ers and students. Judge Butler said the new plan must be based on geo graphical attendance zones or on consolidation or pairing of schools or both." The board agreed to send to Judge Butler a map showing proposed geographical attend ance zones and instructed board attorney Frank Banzet to file notice of appeal from Judge Butler's order. The board members said that It Is Impossible to work out a second comprehensive plan of school desegregation in the week's time allowed by Judge Butler. The judge's order stated that the new plan should be ac companied with detailed maps showing the geographic at tendance zones and the number of Negro and white students In each school district. Under the plan submitted for the 1968-19 school year, which will be put Into effect this year, the Warren County Board of Education agreed to trans fer one class and one teacher from Northside to Norllna; transfer one section of the fourth and teacher from John R. Hawkins to John Graham; trans fer one section of the eighth grade and teacher from Haw kins to Macon; and to said ap proximately 30 high school stu dents, who live In the Little ton area, to the Littleton school with a teacher.
