TITLE: Monitoring Commission's Response to the Annual
Desegregation Review, 1986-87. Part II: Recommendations on
Educational Components.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1988
NOTE: 68 p.; For a complete set of Commission Reports, see
UD 028 213-233.
ABSTRACT: This report summarizes the response of a
monitoring commission to a 1986-87 report on the
educational components of a court-mandated school
desegregation plan in Chicago (Illinois). The Board of
Education was required to alleviate the effects of both
past and ongoing segregation by providing educational and
related programs for predominantly Black and Hispanic
American schools. Overall, the report was very well written
and a great improvement over the 1985-86 report. The
summary of the major litigation of 1986-87 between the
board and the Federal Government demonstrates the important
issue of funding the desegregation plan. The following
educational components are reviewed: (1) general curriculum
and instruction; (2) the Chicago Effective Schools Project;
(3) programs in racially identifiable schools; (4) student
leadership; (5) magnet schools and programs; (6) vocational
and technical high schools; (7) special education and
testing; (8) dropout prevention; (9) bilingual education;
(10) student discipline; (11) staff development; (12)
public participation; (13) faculty desegregation and
affirmative action; (14) evaluation; and (15) monitoring.
