This paper presents a narrative account of desegregation goals for the Seattle school district for the period dating from 1970-1975. During this time, major policy decisions were made by the school board establishing district policy on desegregation. The Citizens Committee for Quality Education played a primary role in developing recommendations which the board used in adopting its original goals in 1970. There was an important response from Citizens Against Mandatory Bussing. The Citizens Advisory Councils were important in the development of district policy, although no single advisory council offered a plan which prevailed at the end. (Author/AM)
