Measuring the Implementation of Racial Balance Under Formal Constraints.

Pullum, Thomas W.; Graham, Stephen N.

Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v4 n1 p109-17 Spr 1982

Linear programing was used to plan the desegregation program of the Seattle (WA) School District. The application described is unique in two respects: (1) its nearest/next nearest school distinction, using geographically coded student files, and (2) its measurement of the compatibility of two alternative legal frameworks for achieving racial balance.
