This project report examines strategies for effective school desegregation based on case studies of individual schools, national school surveys, ethnographic studies of classrooms, trend analyses, opinion surveys and conference interviews, and court documents. The strategies identified in the report include the attainment of one or more of the following possible outcomes of desegregation: (1) ending racial isolation among schools and within schools; (2) avoiding resegregation among schools and within schools; (3) improved race relations among students; (4) improvements in academic achievement; and (5) public support for desegregation and school policy. Discussions of pupil reassignment policies, community involvement, and plans for desegregating neighborhoods and housing are related to the findings of the study. Also addressed is the need for structural and curricular changes in schools and more effective inservice training for teachers and administrators. (JCD)
