Introduction:  Anatomy of
Carlin v. Board of Education

July 1, 1998

Carlin

The Trial Court discharged the Writ of Mandate pursuant to a motion by Groundswell, joined by Interested Legislators Kopp and Baldwin, over the objections of the Board and Carlin Plaintiffs. The formal order (filed September 30, 1998) stated that the Final Order Terminating Court Jurisdiction, dated August 21, 1996, “remains viable” as no party appealed that Order. LPS at 99-101.

The White enrollment in the San Diego school district had declined still further to 29 percent.
 

October 20, 1999

Carlin

Following the Board's proposals (LPS at 108) of modifications of its Integration Plan, the author presented written and oral objections (November 30, 1999) to the manner in which the race of the students was to be utilized in their school and classroom assignments in the Integration Plan. LPS at 108-111.
 

January 25, 2000

Carlin

The Board adopted an Integration Plan which may require further modification in accord with the objections of the author, as high court rulings subject such affirmative action to strict scrutiny. LPS at 111-114, 138-139 [Appendix].

San Diegans can now directly voice to the Board objections to plans adversely affecting their children, with the restoration of local control.
