DISD SUIT
) Another lawsuit is on file in federal court today, challenge the election process of the Dallas Independent School District. The suit, filed by the Dallas Legal Services Project, calls for federal judge Robert M.-Hill to stop any further at-large school board elections, until single-member districts are drawn up and put into effect. The DLSP suit claims this is the only way to avoid dilution of minority voting strength. A similar suit is on file with federal judge William Wayne Justice of Tyler, calling for a hearing by a 3-judge federal panel. Currently, six of the nine school board positions have residency requirements for candidates, but not for voters, and those members are elected on a district-wide basis. The remaining three places are chosen completely at-large.
