The opening of this district's fourth high school in 1970, which necessitated a redrawing of boundaries with a resulting redistribution of students, provided the opportunity for the Colorado Springs, Colorado school district to correct racial and ethnic imbalances in the district's high schools. Parents, teachers, students, and representatives from all segments of the community were involved in the development of the plan. This resulted in good communication between the school system and the public and in a high degree of support for the new program. Strong leadership was provided by the school superintendent. Most objections were raised by white and minority parents whose children were dislocated from schools they formerly attended. There was never a significant degree of organized opposition and much of the original dissension dissipated. Most of those interviewed believed that desegregation has resulted in improved relations between white and minority students and that increased educational opportunities have been provided for all students. Virtually all persons interviewed felt that desegregation of the high schools has been implemented with a high degree of success and that it has been beneficial to all. The biggest single problem that remains is that of the "self-isolation" of many minority students. (Author/AM)
