Busing in Unitary School Districts: A Board's Right to Modify the Plan.

Mesibov, Laurie

School Law Bulletin, v17 n4 p19-27 Fall 1986

Discusses the Fourth Circuit Court's decision in "Riddick v. School Board of Norfolk" allowing the school board to stop busing children even though the return to neighborhood schools creates many racially isolated schools. The argument turns on whether segregation is "de jure" or "de facto"; the distinguishing factor is intent. Cites 48 references. (MLH)
