Essay / Research Paper Abstract
( 5 pp) The federal mandate of racially integrated
schools began over forty years ago. Some schools,
particularly in the South, were able to ward off
compliance, for decades. Unfortunately, the
desegregation of schools has been predicated on a
case-by-case base and racially identifiable school
systems continue to exist today. But recently,
after the magnet and mid-point school plans, a new
wrinkle in the form of choice and charter schools
has surfaced. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

could draw students from each neighborhood and be easily integrated. Charter Schools First - what is a public charter school? This is a school which is owned and
operated on a private basis; thus because it is considered a private corporation it can decide who may attend and who may not, while a public school may not be
segregated, a private school could be. According to Deborah McGriff (1998), vice president of a corporation which administers the Edison charter school program in Michigan,
