The South Bend schools integrated in 1981 under the terms of the consent decree, a legal agreement that was reached in federal court and remains in effect today. The agreement requires that each school enroll a percentage of black students that is within 15 percentage points of the total percentage of black students in the school corporation.

The latest data, released in November 2017, show that Washington High School and five primary schools are out of compliance.

“It’s not the consent decree that’s the problem. It’s the interpretation,” said Oletha Jones, one of the CAFE organizers and education chair for the South Bend branch of the NAACP.

Neither she nor Albert advocates seeking to end the consent decree.

I wonder what would be the result if all public schools in the county had to be in compliance with the total percentage of black students in the county. I'd venture to say SBCSC would not have quite the numbers problem it does.

Always, love when people put the "O" in place of the "A" in Marian.  It tends to upset the Marian faithful and I find it humorous.

I always laughed when my St. Joe buddies referred to Marian as "lil' sister."

Penn over Adams-  should we start a thread for who the next Adams coach will be?

 

I wish Ben Downey would apply.

Adams were moving in the right direction with Redmen.  Seems like Jones' winning ways at Washington had to do more with his players and supporting cast of coaches. Any of his teams break .500 since he left Washington? St. Joe hasn't been right since the Downey brothers departed

His first team with Redman's players went 6-4. No more than 3 wins since. 5-4 once at Niles.

What a difficult schedule for Saint Joseph especially the next four conference games. New prairie, Elkhart, Mishawaka and Penn.   Saint Joseph could be 0-7 after these games.  

St. Joe and Adams could be 0-8 heading into their week 9 matchup. 

Both programs have fallen off dramatically.

If Saint Joseph continues to rack up multiple unsportmanlike  penalties, doesn't matter if Driscoll runs the ball of they throw 35 times.  

What is the deal with this?

Wasn't this an issue last year, too?

Are these a few star players or is it a team-wide issue?
