This report presents the evaluation of a court approved desegregation plan for elementary schools in the school district of the City of Erie, Pennsylvania, starting with the school year in September 1975. The plan was that the district's elementary school would house grades K-5. Two elementary schools, Garfield and Longfellow, would close and pupils would be reassigned. The Harding school would continue as a city wide open enrollment school. Burton school, exempted by court, would not be balanced. Wayne school would be an elementary school in transition, housing only grades 3-6. The district's middle schools would house grades 6-8. The academic high schools would house grades 9-12. The report compares projected pupil statistics under the proposed plan and actual pupil enrollment. Also presented are implementation activities for the Emergency School Aid Act; desegregation plan for the second year; and the conceptualization, design, and implementation of an evaluation to measure the effect (if any) of desegregation on pupil achievement, interest in school, and self esteem. The findings of the study focus on a "smooth implementation of the desegregation plan...attributed to careful planning and implementation activities". (Author/RJ)
