A Louisiana school board and the federal government have agreed to end over 60 years of federal oversight aimed at desegregating schools. The Bossier Parish School Board, near Shreveport, announced the agreement on the first day of classes, with Superintendent Jason Rowland stating it allows for local decision-making. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill supported the settlement, arguing that such decades-old consent decrees are costly and remove power from local communities. The U.S. Justice Department, which previously enforced these orders, reversed its stance under the Trump administration, viewing them as federal overreach. AI
