No, in the case of Board of Education of Oklahoma City v. Dowell, the plaintiff was not a student. It was the Board of Education of Oklahoma City that was the plaintiff.
In this particular case, the Board of Education of Oklahoma City filed a lawsuit against several African American families who had sued the school district for maintaining a segregated school system, in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment. The school district argued that it had taken significant steps to eliminate racial segregation and had achieved unitary status, meaning it had eliminated the effects of past segregation.
However, the families disagreed, claiming that the school district had not fully integrated the schools and had failed to eliminate the effects of past segregation. The case reached the Supreme Court, where the question was whether the school district had satisfied its duty to desegregate and whether it could be released from its obligation to continue desegregation efforts.
So, while the case involved the rights of students to an integrated education, the student was not the plaintiff in this case.
