Slow gains in public school desegregation across states
Desegregation advances in U S public schools come from federal court orders and Title VI enforcement. By January a DOE survey found 20.3 percent of Black students in integrated schools, with rates by state ranging from 7 to 39 percent. In the Deep South about 120 districts were noncompliant and 364 under court orders, while Northern efforts have risen through new investigations and lawsuits.
