Desegregation of Public School Districts: Persistence and Change.

Taeuber, Karl

Phi Delta Kappan, v72 n1 p18-24 Sep 1990

Desegregation efforts of the 1960s and 1970s changed the racial structure of public schools and have persisted intact thorough the 1980s. In a study of 960 desegregated school districts, 87 percent exhibited a segregation score close to the lowest score the district ever attained. No districts have returned to preexisting segregation levels. Includes 12 references. (MLH)
