Wayne County @ Central 11/22/13(Regional Championship)

Coachdad here is the info I think you were talking about per Wikipedia

Until 2000, all high schools in Jefferson County were required to maintain a percentage of African-American students between 15 and 50%. In 2000, a group of black parents sued after their children were denied admission to Central High School. As a result, US District Judge John Heyburn II struck down the use of race-conscious school assignment procedures for Jefferson County magnet and traditional schools such as Central. Admission is now determined through a random lottery.

Thank you very much for looking that up ! I'm tired of explaining it .
However the info is slightly skewed , they lose their appeal everytime , it did not end in 2000, I worked for 10 years for the firm that represents the district & it is led by a lawyer named Byron Leet , he has always won this case on appeal ( to this date) even when the plaintiffs have won the initial ruling.

Even with this info in black & white some people cannot for the life of me will not be able to comprehend.

EVEN THOUGH YOU LOOKED IT UP & SHARED.
THE LAW STILL STANDS .... No more than 35% theoretically no less than 15% , the 2000 ruling gave central an exemption to increase to 50% OF THE SCHOOLS TOTAL CAPACITY. Having said that NON MINORITY students need to enroll to bring Central to full capacity. However until 2000 central played in ky's largest class(4A) & did very well. I coached from 94-97 during that span we beat Trinity 3 out of the 4 years there , won 2 district titles ( same district) as trinity , a regional title and a trip to the state semi-finals.
