路易斯安那州检察长宣布 Caddo Parish 学区结束61年联邦监督：种族隔离诉讼以各方联合撤案终结
位于美国路易斯安那州西北部 Caddo Parish 的公立学区，结束了长达61年的联邦法院监督。路易斯安那州检察长 Liz Murrill 10月23日宣布，各方已提交联合撤案申请（Joint Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice），该学区自民权时代延续至今的学校种族隔离诉讼就此终结，学区治理权回到民选的 Caddo Parish 教育委员会手中。
这起诉讼是 Jones 诉 Caddo Parish 教育委员会案，1965年由当地黑人学生家长提起、美国联邦政府介入，在位于 Shreveport 的联邦法院审理；此后数十年间，联邦法院的命令一直约束着该学区的招生与学校安排。Shreveport 是 Caddo Parish 的治所，也是路易斯安那州西北部最大的城市，该学区是当地最大的雇主之一。
Murrill 在声明中说：「61年之后，联邦对 Caddo Parish 教育委员会的监督结束了。Caddo Parish 的民众拿回了自己的学区。早就该把权力交还到它所属的地方，不是交给一名联邦法官，而是交给民众选出的教育委员会代表。」她同时感谢 Caddo Parish 教育委员会，以及美国司法部民权司助理部长 Harmeet Dhillon 在此案中的工作。
州检察长办公室表示，此次撤案紧随该办公室在 Concordia Parish 一案中于联邦第五巡回上诉法院取得的胜诉，该判决确认，一旦其余各方当事人都同意撤案，联邦种族隔离案件就必须终结。过去一年多里，Murrill 的办公室已先后协助多个路易斯安那学区结束同类历史案件：Plaquemines Parish 于2025年4月、DeSoto Parish 于2026年1月、Concordia Parish 于2026年7月、Bossier Parish 于2026年8月，Caddo Parish 是最新一个。
随着撤案生效，Caddo Parish 学区的日常决策不再需要联邦法院批准。州检察长办公室称，将继续与州内仍受此类历史案件约束的学区合作，逐一评估并终结这些案件。
Louisiana AG Announces End to 61 Years of Federal Oversight of Caddo Parish Schools as Desegregation Case Is Dismissed
The public school district of Caddo Parish, in northwestern Louisiana, has ended 61 years of federal court oversight. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced on October 23 that the parties had filed a Joint Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice, closing the school desegregation litigation that had run since the civil rights era and returning control of the district to the elected Caddo Parish School Board.
The case, Jones v. Caddo Parish School Board, was filed in 1965 by Black parents and intervened in by the United States, in the federal court sitting in Shreveport. For decades afterward, federal court orders governed the district's student assignment and school operations. Shreveport is the parish seat of Caddo Parish and the largest city in northwestern Louisiana, and the school district is one of the area's largest employers.
"After 61 years, federal oversight of the Caddo Parish School Board has ended. The people of Caddo Parish have their school system back," Murrill said in the statement. "It's long past time to return authority to where it belongs, not with a federal judge, but with the people's elected representatives on the School Board." She thanked the Caddo Parish School Board and Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, for their work on the case.
The attorney general's office said the dismissal follows its Fifth Circuit victory in the Concordia Parish case, which reaffirmed that federal desegregation cases must end once all remaining parties agree to dismiss them. Over the past year and a half, Murrill's office has helped close a series of similar Louisiana cases: Plaquemines Parish in April 2025, DeSoto Parish in January 2026, Concordia Parish in July 2026 and Bossier Parish in August 2026, with Caddo Parish the latest.
With the dismissal in effect, the Caddo Parish district's day-to-day decisions no longer require federal court approval. The attorney general's office said it will keep working with other Louisiana districts still under such historical cases to evaluate and close them one by one.
