1Opinion of the Court
WISDOM, Circuit Judge.
The Orleans Parish School Board maintains a dual school system in the City of New Orleans. A dual school system is a compulsory biracial system in which certain schools are designated for Negro students and staffed by Negro personnel and certain other schools are designated for white students and staffed by white personnel. Each school draws students from its own attendance area. The city, therefore, is divided into geographical districts (zones) for Negro schools that are separate but often overlap the districts for white schools.
