Plaintiffs, schools prepare to make case before judge

CHAMPAIGN – Champaign school district officials and representatives of its black students will tell a federal judge this week about the successes and the work yet to be done to meet the goals of the district's consent decree case.

Though they might not agree on all the issues, both sides say they hope the testimony in Thursday's court hearing will help the community understand the consent decree and what it means for students and teachers.
