The Huntsville school board and the U.S. Department of Justice on Monday made public a proposed joint consent order that, if approved by the court, would bring to a close their dispute on the desegregation of the city's schools.

In the order, they tell U.S. District Judge Madeline Haikala that the mediation was a success. The two sides have been in court-ordered mediation since last summer to determine the best way to rezone school zone boundary lines.

Along with the order filed with the court, they have made public all of the documents detailing the newly proposed student assignment plan.

AL.com is reviewing the documents and will have more information shortly.

A link to all documents and information can be found at the district's website at HuntsvilleCitySchools.org. The direct link is at ProposedConsentOrder.com.
