that OCR complete its investigation of the
Fort Wayne Community Schools and make a written
determination of its findings in regard to student
and faculty assignment and curriculum under its
Title VI authority, as the Federal court ordered it to
do by December 1978. That determination should be
made no later than August 1, 1979.
7. The Indiana Advisory Committee recommends
that the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
begin storing data on a continuing basis of the type
and amount of Federal funds flowing to each school
district. Such data should be readily accessible to
Federal, State, and local agencies, as well as to the
general public.
8. The Indiana Advisory Committee recommends
that the Department of Justice reopen its
investigation of the Fort Wayne Community
Schools under its Title IV authority to determine
whether there has been deliberate governmental
action, such as the discriminatory placement of
public housing sites, which has contributed to the
racial isolation in the Fort Wayne elementary
schools.
