Jefferson County panelists warn of school changes

Court case could mean segregation

More low-performing and segregated schools might appear if the Supreme Court rules against Jefferson County's student assignment plan, panelists said at a community forum held by the local NAACP last night.

"It would be a travesty if we had to go back to segregated schools," said Stephen Imhoff, a member of the Jefferson County Board of Education. "We need to keep doing what we're doing because of diversity."
