| Abstract | In 1968, the Indianapolis Board of School Commissioners was found guilty of maintaining segregated schools in the district. The history behind and current status of court litigation on this matter are reviewed in this paper. Background information on school segregation in Marion County, Indiana, including a description of the county's racial demography, is provided. In addition, the latest integration plan, supported by the current school board, is outlined. This plan for desegregation on a city only (rather than metropolitan) level, calls for the creation of "magnet" high schools, new junior high schools, and the implementation of an "option plan" for elementary schools. The magnet high schools would offer programs in career education, the fine and performing arts, and the health professions. Under the option plan, parents of elementary school children would be able to select from schools offering a number of traditional and nontraditional approaches to elementary education. (GC) |
