Abstract
In spite of the intent and promise of Brown v. Board of Education, most poor and minority children continue to receive an unequal education from the nation's public schools. Furthermore, the political pressure to reform schools has helped to erode Brown by turning judicial attention away from desegregation issues giving new and greater support to the idea of community schools. This chapter discusses changes in school desegregation policy that brought about by recent rulings made by the U.S. Supreme Court that are fostering a return to neighborhood schools.
