EBR School Degregation Talks Successful

The Advocate reports that the parties involved in the 47-year-old East Baton Rouge Parish public school desegregation case agreed to a settlement regarding their remaining differences.

"What we are saying is we have reached an agreement in principle that will end the federal court supervision of the school system," Superintendent Clayton Wilcox said, as the parties emerged after nine hours of talks Wednesday.
