Controlled Choice Assignments: A New and More Effective Approach to School Desegregation.

Alves, Michael J.; Willie, Charles V.

Urban Review, v19 n2 p67-88 1987

An alternative approach, controlled choice, maximizes personal choice within an equitable, educationally enhanced system. This approach has been adopted by three school systems and is being reviewed by several more. (VM)
