PER CURIAM:
This appeal questions the Trial Court’s determination that the school board of Palm Beach County violated the Fourteenth Amendment rights of the black principal of an almost entirely black senior high school by failing to appoint him to a principalship vacancy in a newly-integrated senior high school in the course of compliance with Court-ordered integration and by his subsequent demotion to the principalship of a junior high school. We find that the conclusions reached by the Trial Judge after evidentiary hearings had ample factual support, F.R.Civ.P. 52(a) and were in compliance with Singleton III1 and Lee v. Macon County.2

. At oral argument we were informed that the District Court had allowed attorney’s fees for work done in that Court. Though we affirm on the merits on the remand the District Court should initially make the determination of the additional amount, if any, that should be allowed for legal work on this appeal and its successful termination.
