Associated Press
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —
A federal judge has lifted a 1971 busing order for the city’s schools, ruling that segregationist practices have been eliminated.
U.S. District Judge John H. Moore II, in a decision issued earlier this week, lifted the 17-year-old desegregation order that ushered in cross-town busing.
The school system is now free to redraw boundary lines.
