Keyes v. School District No. 1

The district court ruled on remand that the school board's segregative actions in the Park Hill area did substantially affect schools outside the district, and ordered both parties in the case to submit plans for the desegregation of the Denver Public Schools by 13 December 1973. The district court found both plans unacceptable, and a third party was brought in, drafting a plan incorporating rezoned attendance areas, reassignment of elementary school students, and busing of students. This plan was adopted on 17 April 1974, and a permanent injunction against the school board was also imposed by the district court. Despite the apparent resolution of the case, efforts to desegregate Denver's schools have proven largely ineffective.
