Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts called for a response from a Virginia school system on Friday over a controversial admissions process at a magnet high school.
Roberts was responding to an emergency application from the group, Coalition for TJ, to vacate a stay pending an appeal filed by Fairfax County Public Schools to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Through Roberts's action, the school board has until Wednesday to present a response. After that, the chief justice will decide on the application, and one of his options includes the ability to refer the case to the full court. Parents of the group argued in its lawsuit that Asian Americans make up 70% of the student body at TJ, claiming they were unfairly targeted by the lottery-based admissions system.
