Monday, December 4
Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, et al.
No. 05-908
Subject:
Equal Protection, Public Schools, Racial Diversity
Questions:
- How are the Equal Protection rights of public high school students affected by
the jurisprudence of Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306 (2003), and Gratz v.
Bollinger, 539 U.S. 244 (2003)?
- Is racial diversity a compelling interest that can justify the use of race in
selecting students for admission to public high schools?
- May a school district that is not racially segregated and that normally permits a
student to attend any high school of her choosing deny a child admission to her
chosen school solely because of her race in an effort to achieve a desired racial
balance in particular schools, or does such racial balancing violate the Equal
Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment?

Crystal D. Meredith, Custodial Parent and Next Friend of Joshua Ryan McDonald v. Jefferson County Board of Education, et al.
No. 05-915
Subject:
Equal Protection, Public Schools, Racial Diversity, Fourteenth Amendment
Questions:
- Should Grutter v. Bollinger, 539 U.S. 306 (2003) and Regents of University of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 268 (1978) and Gratz v.
Bollinger, 539 U.S. 244 (2003) be overturned and/or misapplied by the Respondent, the Jefferson County
Board of Education to use race as the sole factor to assign students to the regular
(non-traditional) schools in the Jefferson County Public Schools?
- Whether the race-conscious Student Assignment Plan with mechanical and
inflexible quota systems of not less than 15% nor greater than 50% of African
American students without individually or holistic review of any student, meets the
Fourteenth Amendment requirement of the use of race which is a compelling
interest narrowly tailored with strict scrutiny.
- Did the District Court abuse and/or exceed its remedial judicial authority in
maintaining desegregative attractiveness in the Public Schools of Jefferson County,
Kentucky?
