 WASHINGTON (AP) - Educators soon may pay extra attention to income levels, home addresses and test scores when they decide which school a student should attend.
Thursday's Supreme Court ruling rejecting integration programs that rely on race when placing students has left educators thinking about how to come up with new ways to achieve racial diversity.
Because neighborhoods often are segregated by race, and blacks and Hispanics are more likely to be poor than whites, school officials can use geography, income and othMacro running .....er criteria in making assignments and still achieve racial balance, said Gary Orfield, co-director of the Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles.
