United States Eighth Circuit

In a case arising out of the court-supervised desegregation of the Kansas City School District, an order enjoining the state from requiring the district to divert to charter schools tax levy funds that were dedicated to repayment of the district's outstanding court-ordered desegregation bonds is affirmed where the district court: 1) properly found it had ancillary jurisdiction to enforce previous orders and an agreement in the case; and 2) properly ordered the injunction.
