Ruling on the system in Denver, the court upheld a lower-court finding that the school board had fostered segregation in a significant portion of the city. Sending the case back to the lower courts for further action, the Justices said that unless the school board can prove it did not practice segregation in mixed neighborhoods, it may be required to integrate the entire system, presumably by busing if necessary...
