Federal Oversight Ends in Wayne County Schools

Federal government oversight of the Wayne County, Mississippi, school system has ended.

The Department of Justice says in a news release that a federal judge signed an order Tuesday dismissing the longstanding school desegregation case. The school district serves close to 3,500 students and has been operating under a desegregation order since 1970.
