Publisher's Synopsis
On June 11, 2013, the Breitenfeld vs. School District of Clayton decision catapulted The Student Transfer Law into action, making it the biggest education story in the region. Though busing students from Black communities to White communities was not an entirely new practice, requiring these already less resourced school districts to pay transportation and tuition costs for student transfers was certainly a newer, more challenging element.
June of 2023 not only marks ten years since the Breitenfeld vs. Clayton ruling, but it also marks added momentum for Open Enrollment options for all students. This book examines the short-term and long-term impacts of these educational policies, particularly within the context of denigrating Black schools and communities.
