The federal judge reviewing Boston’s plan to reform its exam-school admissions policy for evidence of discrimination said he hopes to arrive at a decision in the coming weeks.
During a hearing Tuesday morning, Judge William Young acknowledged a “time constraint” that Boston Public Schools has yet to inform applicants whether they’ve been admitted to one of the city’s three selective high schools.
Young has sought to settle this case quickly given the need to plan for next year. But he also promised to weigh strong arguments from city officials and the parent group accusing them of putting white and Asian students at an unfair disadvantage.
