The judge, Robert B. Krupansky of Federal Circuit Court, found that Ohio's biggest school district had followed a plan that was supposed to achieve racial balance, largely through cross-town busing.

The district's compliance, Judge Krupansky wrote, "stands as an unequivocal manifestation of their good-faith efforts to desegregate the Cleveland school district."
