Testimony and proceedings of a hearing on the School District Consolidation Amendments of 1985 are presented in this document. The proposed bill would restrict the ability of Federal district courts to order remedies involving the consolidation of school districts in school desegregation cases. The following are included: (1) a statement in support of the bill by Representative Tommy F. Robinson, who argues against the intrusion of courts into local authorities' attempts to formulate their own desegregation policies; (2) a statement by Debbie Shamlin, chairperson of Parents Against Consolidation in Little Rock, Arkansas; (3) testimony from representatives of the North Little Rock Parent Teacher Association; and (4) a paper by Professor Herbert J. Walberg entitled "Threats of Metropolitan Consolidation to Educational Quality," which presents an overview of research on the harmfulness of consolidation and a consideration of beneficial alternatives.
