U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2915
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - El Dorado
[PUBLISHED] [[Smith, Author, with Gruender and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - School Desegregation. The district court did not err in
approving the modification of the "gifted and talented" provisions of the
consent decree in the matter to permit the closing of a school in light of
drastic changes in the district's and the school's population and
enrollment and the serious financial impact of continuing to operate the
school; further a drop-off in student participation in the "gifted and
talented" program supported the modification; finally, the proposed
modification to the consent decree was suitably tailored to address the
change in circumstances.
