History

The Longview Independent School District was under a desegregation order from the federal judiciary beginning in 1970, when a judge mandated racial integration by closing some majority Black schools and other changes intended to help African-American students. The order lasted until June 2018, when a judge released it from the order. The LISD board passed measures to keep desegregation programs in place that year. [1]
