The corporation whole

The corporation's own carriers and the reference record, as cited in the pass note; the federal court carrier at Simon, J., Opinion and Order, 16 Oct 2023 (Case 3:80-cv-00035, N.D. Ind.)

The South Bend Community School Corporation dates itself to 1867 and administers from the Brown Community Learning Center. Its present size prints in conflict, whole, as the sibling build registered it (C19 there): the corporation's own site gives 26 schools, 13,580 students and 2,408 employees, the state's tenth largest; the reference record gives 27 schools with seven support facilities over some 160 square miles, the state's fifth largest, with 18,110 students in its infobox layer. The counts may measure different things, but no carrier says so, and the build does not say it for them. The corporation operates under the federal desegregation consent decree in United States v. South Bend Community School Corporation, Cause No. 3:80-cv-00035 — decrees of February 1980 and 17 April 1981, whose core term holds each school's Black-student percentage within fifteen points of the corporation-wide percentage and requires that school closings fall equitably on all racial groups. The decree is not history: the April 2023 Facilities Master Plan resolution itself acknowledged that the government had reviewed only proof-of-concept boundaries and that final proposed attendance boundaries must still be submitted — the Clay closure and the town's present assignment both run through that federal frame — and the decree was still a live compliance subject in the corporation's 2025–26 coverage, described there as the only one of its kind still standing in Indiana. No termination or unitary-status ruling was returned by any search.
