School Transfer Rule Overruled
- Share via
A group of white parents won a preliminary Superior Court injunction today barring the Los Angeles Unified School District from denying transfers on the basis of ethnicity to students whose parents want them to attend schools closer to day-care facilities.
The district staff established a policy allowing permits to be denied if they contributed to racial segregation in a school. But Superior Court Judge Bonnie Lee Martin said the policy never was properly adopted by the school board. The ruling affects about 250 students with special permits to attend 11 schools located primarily on the Westside and in the San Fernando Valley.
