BY THE COURT:

The order of the district court under review is vacated and the cause is remanded with direction that the district court require the school board forthwith to reconsider the consent decree in the light of the principles established in Swann v.

The district court is also directed to implement fully the uniform provisions of our decision in Singleton v. Jackson Municipal Separate School District (en banc), 5 Cir., 1970, 419 F.2d 1211; Id., 425 F.2d 1211, insofar as said uniform provisions relate to desegregation of faculty and other staff, majority to minority transfer policy, transportation, school construction and site selection, and attendance outside system of residence. See also Carter v. West Feliciana Parish School Board, 5 Cir., 1970, 432 F.2d 875.

The district court shall require the school board to file semiannual reports during the school year similar to those required in United States v. Hinds County School Board, 5 Cir., 1970, 433 F.2d 611, at 618-619.
