From The Arkansas Democrat Gazette: The Little Rock (Ark.) School District--supervised by federal courts longer than any other desegregating school district in the nation--is "completely unitary,' a federal appeals court panel has affirmed. A three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Louis has a district judge’s February 2007 order that declared Arkansas’ largest school district desegregated.
