Advantages include--(1) lower site costs, (2) better racial balance, and (3) greater flexibility. Questions raised concerned community planning, curriculum development and facility organization. Disadvantages mentioned were in comparison to neighborhood schools, transportation problems, home and cultural relationships, and depersonalization. (MM)
