Hearing to discuss the School District's 30-year effort to desegregate and make equitable public schools throughout the district. The discussion should include: 1) the successes and failures of past district policies including the 1993 racial caps on enrollment and the 1999 lawsuit settlement mandating racial integration without using race; 2) the current district policy of using a diversity index and whether this index is the only mechanism the City can utilize to be in compliance with the 1999 settlement; 3) the demographics of those who do not get their first choice school; and 4) disparities in quality of facilities, resources, etc. that exists in our school district and whether these disparities are giving rise to opposition to the diversity index.
