Outsider To Draw
School Mix Plan
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -
Julius Chambers, attorney
for the plaintiffs in
Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s
school desegregation case,
plans to ask that an outside
consultant draw up an
alternate pupil assignment
plan for next year.
Chambers told U.S.
District Judge James B.
, McMillan of his plans last
Wednesday at the close of
the first day of hearings on
the school board’s pupil
assignment proposal for
next fall.
THE LAWYER argues
that the school’s plan places
an unfair busing burden on
young black children. A
request by Chambers for
outside advice in 1969 led to
the appointment of con
sultant Dr. John Finger of
Providence, R.l.
Finger drew up the plan
leading to the first massive
busing of students here in
September, 1970.
ELllZABETH Randolph,
who oversees the school
system’s kindergarten
program, testified during
the entire session Tuesday
in federal district court.
Mrs. Randolph defended
the kindergarten assign
ment plan.
