This is a report on school desegregation in Corpus Christi, Texas. It discusses in depth the historical and legal basis for school desegregation in Corpus Christi with respect to the litigative processes underlying the issue of school desegregation. This report carefully describes the events leading up to the landmark Cisneros v. Corpus Christi desegregation lawsuit and its impact on the community. The attempt to desegregate the Corpus Christi schools has been a prolonged and painfully laborious task. Despite almost 10 years of protracted litigation and court orders mandating desegregation, this school district continues to maintain a segregated school system. The school board and the superintendent have repeatedly denied the existence of segregation and have refused to develop workable plans for bringing about desegregation. The present desegregation plan, the Computer Plan, addresses itself exclusively to the physical assignment of students and fails to incorporate other important educational and social needs necessary to assure a comprehensive approach to desegregation. Minorities are inadequately represented at all professional levels of employment within this school district. The school board is composed of all Anglo members, while the student composition is 60% minority students. (Author/AM)
