This longitudinal study summarizes the findings of the United States District Court Monitoring Commission, a temporary agency established under the Bradley v. Milliken desegregation case. The salient issues illustrated by the study are discussed. Sources of data highlighted by the commission are described: (1) the longitudinal survey of teachers and counselors; (2) the individual school assessment based on a three-level, criteria based assessment; and (3) data on high school attrition, proficiency and age distribution. Findings from data from all sources are compiled into a component-by-component summary of aggregate data. Summary findings are given for the following areas: (1) Bilingual Education; (2) Counseling and Guidance; (3) In-Service Training; (4) Reading; (5) School-Community Relations; (6) Student Code of Conduct; (7) Testing; and (8) Vocational Education.
