Samnorwood Independent School District v. Texas Education Agency
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided June 24, 2008No. 06-41347PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:
This case involves two independent school districts located in the Texas panhandle challenging whether a some thirty-six-year-old federal court desegregation order can properly be applied to them when they were not a party to the suit when the order was entered and have never been found to have discriminated against students since they voluntarily and completely desegregated in the 1960s.
Because we believe that the application of the modified order to these two districts is unwarranted under current school desegregation law, we reverse and render.
