According to a July 15, 2007 New York Times article “School Diversity Based on Income Segregates Some,” the answer is unclear. After the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision the restricted race-based school assignments, Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. I, 127 S.Ct. 2738 (2007), schools will need to look for other legal means to seek racial diversity. By using an income based plan, studies show that schools can achieve socioeconomic diversity, but not necessarily racial diversity. The plan could succeed in income and racial diversity if it aggressively shifts students around the district. However, this runs against many families’ choice not to have their child attend an out of neighborhood school. Therefore, like San Francisco schools, if a school plan does not mandate income desegregation and provide adequate transportation options, family choice will assert itself and resegregate the schools by race. From the REP perspective, we need to locate studies that connect racial and socioeconomic diversity in schools to academic success and opportunity in order to continue to pressure schools to seek equal access to a quality education for all students.
