Omaha school redistricting law blocked - Nebraska

“A judge on Monday blocked the implementation of a law that would divide the Omaha school district into three racially identifiable districts.

The law, passed in April and set to take effect in 2008, would have split the Omaha Public Schools into one mostly black district, one largely Hispanic and one predominantly white. It also would have forced 11 school districts in two counties to share resources, including state funding, as part of a “learning community.”"
