and it could be something as simple as a couple of adjoining areas grew to the point of needing a new school so the districts are now combined, semantics?

Or it could have been that they hadn’t grown but that someone didn’t want to mingle.

But how do we know that kids GPA was lower. That’s just her side of the story. Sounds like reverse racism.

Why don’t they have the best white female vocalist? That’s racist. Just saying

Also did she take the same courses as the white person? I need all the facts to make an accurate determination.

There was a lot of pissed off people about the school merger in Cleveland.
FWIW it wasn’t desegregated. Cleveland High was one of the few decent public schools in the delta and was located near delta state, was about 50-50 white/black but both races were middle class decent folk. East Side High was 100% black and full of ghetto trash. They merged the 2 and now Cleveland High has gone to shite and white kids are leaving for Bayou Academy in droves but parents are mad cause they had a free good education for their kids now they have to pay 6-7k a year.
Bayou went from 1A to 4A in a year

So were the original 2 schools offering same quality of education? Surely they must be able to use prior state testing if they do that as well as ACT & SAT scoring to get a feel of any difference in education between the schools prior to merge. Should also get an idea on teacher quality and parental involvement making up differences where teachers and schools fall short at times.
It seems like the “white” school was actually the integrated school while the “black” school was segregated and many families going there wanted to keep it that way. I wonder if the blacks who went to Cleveland High feel the weighted system was not fair.

The first year having Co-valedictorians makes sense if each was from a different school prior to merge of the 2 schools. Being in same district doesn’t mean as much as being in same school when comparing workload for first 3 years. If it just happen because of weighted system than that’s what student should have to prove was incorrect based on facts not race since other so called “white” school was actually almost 50/50 white & black.
By year 2 i can see just using weighted system and not having one from each school, and The second case is again clearly based on if weighted system is valid or not. You would think this weighted system was agreed upon before hand and wasn’t some secret. District made a mistake by allowing student in 2nd case to have her GPA changed back to unadjusted GPA unlike the rest of the students both whites & blacks from the integrated high school and the segregated black high school. It’s now being used against them.

I don’t think it was the “white” School that didn’t want to mingle since it was close to 50/50 white & black. It was the “black” school that was nearly 100% black and many going there (or who went there) wanted system to remain and keep their “black” school.

Valedictorian/Salutatorian Scholarship
Four-year award (eight semesters)
Award: $6,000 over four years ($1,500/year) for Valedictorian students named by their high schools
$4,000 over four years ($1,000/year) for Salutatorian students named by their high schools
So $500/semester was the dealbreaker?
The high school conceded in letting her keep her GPA. Now she wants to be rewarded based on the same point scale but for two different quality weighted educations? This is a prime example of an overblown call.
You know, I’m deeply offended a white student had a harder education path. Why they make whitey do more for the same bread? That is so racist. Blacks are colluding to keep this gifted white student down. Think I’ll file a federal lawsuit, will definitely seek monetary damages.
All this for Mass Comm.

That's not true. I'm sure there are discrepancies at any school, but overall whites due and Asians have better acceptance rates.
I'm not mad about it. I'm hosting stating that the leeway given to Blacks by a fraction of institutions isnt pushing out whites.
Honestly, I look at it like this: if a institution discriminated against me, then that's not a place worth my time.

Whether a state abolished it or not after that point doesn’t matter.

Mississippi was the last state to ratify the 13th amendment. They actually made the original vote in the 90s but MS being MS they forgot to notify the federal government they did it.
