After a hearing and determination (upon the complaint by the Carlin Plaintiff-Class) that the Defendant School Board had “failed to take some reasonably feasible steps to alleviate school segregation and the harms inflicted by such (de facto) segregation,” the Court issued a Writ of Mandate commanding the Board —

1. to present a “detailed plan to further alleviate racial segregation” in 23 named schools;
2. to implement “some portion of the plan during the school year 1977-78 and to designate target dates for the operation of those portions of the plan, if any, that are to be implemented at a later date;” and
3. to “serve and file a return to this Writ on or before June 13, 1977.”
