 Elementary schools in other parts of the city and Jefferson Junior High School, serving the east half of the city, were desegregated slowly as African-American families moved into housing outside of Gamble Valley.In 1967, Scarboro Elementary School was closed, and African-American students from Gamble Valley were bused to other schools around the city.Following the "Brown" decision, public accommodations in Oak Ridge were also integrated, although this took a number of years.
