Bossier Parish Ends Sixty-Year Oversight | Raleigh News
Description
After 60 years of federal oversight, Bossier Parish Schools in Louisiana have struck a deal to end its court-mandated desegregation order — a historic shift as the new school year begins. Superintendent Jason Rowland celebrates regained local control while honoring the district’s legacy, backed by Attorney General Liz Murrill, who calls these outdated mandates costly and counterproductive. The Justice Department has also reversed course, now viewing such orders as federal overreach. With original plaintiffs long gone and decades of collaboration under way, this closure marks a turning point for one of America’s longest-running school desegregation cases.
