Text: 4 The plan suggested by HEW to remedy this is essentially a zone plan. It was constructed on the assumption that other alternatives were foreclosed by state statutory limitations on stategranted financial assistance to local school districts to provide intracity transportation. 4 In addition, the HEW plan indicated that other limitations 'to developing a plan resulting in total desegregation of all schools in the system were' (1) the size of the district, (2) natural and man-made barriers that constitute safety hazards and restrict mobility, 5 (3) demographic pattern of the district, (4) lack of a compulsory attendance law, (5) possibility of resegregation and (6) the need to develop a 'plan which would result in the least amount of disruption and which would be implemented immediately.'
