| The Citizens Advisory Group (CAG) was formed
in November, 1973 to look into the problems of pupil assignment and to find
solutions to those problems. The group's 25 members were selected by their
school "feeder area" or civic organization to speak to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Board of Education concerning their views on pupil assignment. Organizing
itself into an advisory group to the Board of Education and its staff, CAG
adopted a set of guidelines, which were presented to the U.S. District Court
in May, 1974. A compromise of the CAG and School Board plans was eventually
accepted by District Court Judge James B. McMillan. Ray is married to lawyer
and former Mecklenburg County commissioner W. Thomas Ray. |
