Upon consideration of the record and the written memoranda of the parties, it is

Ordered:

In particular, the District Court shall order the School Board to take such preliminary steps as may be necessary to prepare for complete student desegregation by February 1, 1970, in accordance with the order of the Supreme Court in Carter v. West Feliciana Parish School Board, 1969, 90 S.Ct. 611 , in the event the Supreme Court requires student desegregation by February 1, 1970.

The mandate in this cause shall issue forthwith. No stay will be granted pending petition for rehearing, or application for certiorari.

Reversed and remanded, with directions.
