Ending Court-Ordered Desegregation of School Systems.

Christopher, William L.

School Law Bulletin, v23 n4 p1-7 Fall 1992

Discusses United States Supreme Court's recent decisions in "Board of Education v. Dowell" and "Freeman v. Pitts." Decisions clarify powers of a federal district court to end court-imposed desegregation over all or part of school operation and will be used increasingly in the future to accomplish the Court's stated goal of the return of public education to local control.
