Desegregation in the Kansas City School District
Title
Desegregation in the Kansas City School District
Description
"The case of Missouri v. Jenkins marked the federal court's most expensive and most ambitious attempt to desegregate a public school district. In 1984, Judge Russell Clark ruled that the Kansas City, Missouri, School District was unconstitutionally segregated" (from book jacket). Instead of busing, the judge raised taxes to help pay for over $2 billion in improvements which included magnet schools, employee salary raises, and the building of facilities with "extravagant amenities." The book gives the history of the issue of desegregation in the Kansas City School District as well as the court procedures and philosophy that accompanied them.
