Single-Sex Schools and the Law.

Brown, Frank; Russo, Charles J.

School Business Affairs, v65 n5 p26-31 May 1999

Reviews single-sex schools' history and legal status. Explores constitutional dimensions of gender-based discrimination delineated in five leading cases (in Philadelphia, New York City, Detroit, Mississippi, and Virginia). Due to claims of Equal Protection Clause and/or Title IX violations, such schools are unlikely to proliferate. (20 references) (MLH)
