School District 46

A class action lawsuit has been filed against Elgin-based Unit School District 46 in Illinois on behalf of Hispanic families. The bias suit alleges that the redistricting plan the school board adopted last year segregates and discriminates against minority and limited-English-speaking students. According to an attorney for the plaintiffs, "We're trying to make sure Latino students receive adequate educational services and not feel the brunt of the district's redistricting plan."
