The federal record: United States District Court, N.D. Ind., Case 3:80-cv-00035 (the Save Clay intervention papers, 2023); the Tribune's court coverage
The corporation operates under a federal desegregation consent decree — the 1980-filed case whose docket (3:80-cv-00035) still governs its boundary decisions four decades on. At the strength reached, the decree's live role is the fact this section can prove: when the Clay closure required new attendance boundaries for 2024–25, those boundaries required approval under the decree; when Save Clay sought to block the closure, it sued by intervening in the decree case, arguing the closure would harm minority students (Clay stood at some 40–42% minority), with the U.S. Department of Justice opposing intervention and Judge Philip Simon hearing argument on 27 September 2023. The decree's original terms, its duration provisions, and its present formal status were not dug and stand as a named gap (G-SC-2), with the decree text and docket as settlers; the leg prints the decree as what the 2023–24 record shows it to be — not history, but a standing condition on every boundary the corporation draws, including the one that now assigns Roseland's children.
