This study has four major objectives. They are: (1) to describe Detroit's population and school enrollment trends as they have occurred in the past and as they are likely to occur in the future; (2) to describe the extent of segregation of students by race in Detroit's public schools throughout the past decade; (3) to describe the extent of segregation of instructional personnel by race in Detroit's public schools throughout the past decade; and, (4) to analyze the relationship between teaching staff quality and the racial composition in Detroit's schools during the 1970-71 school year. Chapter two describes an index developed for measuring residential segregation which has been adapted for use as a measure of school segregation. Chapter three presents population data for Detroit over the past 70 years. Changes in the numbers of students and faculty of different races between 1960 and 1970 are presented. Chapter four describes the index of dissimilarity values for students on an annual basis from 1960 to 1970. Chapter five repeats the description in Chapter four, with instructional personnel as subjects. Chapter six analyzes the distribution of instructional resources to schools according to the racial composition of their student bodies. Chapter seven concludes the report with a summary of findings and a brief evaluation of Detroit's progress toward desegregation. (Author/JM)
