In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court remanded Keyes v Denver to the district court for further proceedings. In past hearings, the court had concluded that minority populations in Denver were receiving an inferior instructional program in violation of constitutional and legal rights. After remand from the Supreme Court, the court requested assistance in developing an instructional program designed to equalize school achievement. Plaintiffs and intervenors were to obtain the services of experts in the education of minority personnel in order to formulate a plan to accompany the pupil assignment plan. The plan which was presented to the court drew heavily from a prior education plan developed for the San Felipe/Del Rio District in Texas. This plan was subsequently modified by two addenda. When the plan ordered implemented by the district court in the Denver public schools was appealed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, the appellate court reversed the lower court's order. A reason for the reversal was that some of the schools in which the plan was to be piloted were not included in the desegregating pupil assignment plan. The case was remanded to the lower court for a determination of the relief necessary to insure that Mexican Americans and other minority children will have the opportunity to acquire proficiency in the English language.
