The NAACP has scheduled a press conference on the steps of the Robertson County Courthouse on Dec. 16 to address segregation in Robertson County schools, the Tennessean reports. Federal investigators determined earlier this year that the school district has failed to comply with its desegregation plan, which was enacted 44 years ago. In October, the Robertson County School District unveiled a proposed settlement agreement with the Department of Justice that included revamping school zones that would have diversified schools outside the Springfield area.
