Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge, HEANEY and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judges.


RICHARD S. ARNOLD, Chief Judge.

In this case, we must decide whether certain actions by the State of Arkansas and the Arkansas Department of Education (collectively referred to as the State) run afoul of the Little Rock Schools Desegregation Settlement Agreement. The plaintiffs, the Little Rock School District (LRSD) and the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD), claim that they do, and the District Court agreed. We affirm in part and reverse in part.
