Balanced schools proposal targets minority enrollment in Syracuse
A Syracuse report shows minority enrollment rising from 13.3 percent to 33.7 percent in city schools, with projections of over 50 percent within nine years. Suburban districts remain under 1 percent minority students, prompting debate on voluntary balanced education and possible pupil exchanges funded by discretionary state monies or legislature. The plan aims for balanced elementary schools by September 1978, with the King building as the only imbalanced facility in the Tandem School.
