5th Circuit Says "No" to Caddo Magnet Schools

The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has refused to reconsider the Caddo School Board's case concerning admissions policies to its elementary magnet schools, according to a report in The Shreveport-Times. The court's previous ruling declared the system's race-based admissions procedures unconstitutional for discriminating against a white applicant. Currently, there are approximately 1,000 students seeking first-time acceptance to Caddo magnet schools waiting to hear from the board concerning their admission.
