In order to create a numerical racial balance among its 10 public high schools, the Seattle School District assigned students among them (using race as second most important tie breaker for popular schools). If the racial demographics of any school’s student body deviated by more than a predetermined number of percentage points from those of Seattle’s total student population (40% white and 60% non-white), the racial tiebreaker went into effect. Meanwhile, the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) voluntarily implemented a system of student assignments that set quota percentages for African American students in each school. Students were given a choice of schools, but not all schools could accommodate all applicants. In those cases, student enrollment was decided based on several factors, including place of residence, school capacity, and random chance, as well as race. However, no school could have an enrollment of black students less than 15% or greater than 50% of its student population.]]> 2021-03-26 20:04:23 UTC https://padlet.com/susangardner2/mfq2em87ia2vzvh4/wish/1358789774 susangardner2 https://padlet.com/susangardner2/mfq2em87ia2vzvh4/wish/1358789776 Violation of Equal Protection Clause.

Quotas - there was quotas in this case ]]> 2021-04-06 00:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/susangardner2/mfq2em87ia2vzvh4/wish/1385067074 https://padlet.com/susangardner2/mfq2em87ia2vzvh4/wish/1385073888 yes - even though race isn't the only factor considered it carries a lot of weight being the tie-breaker. ]]> 2021-04-06 00:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/susangardner2/mfq2em87ia2vzvh4/wish/1385073888 https://padlet.com/susangardner2/mfq2em87ia2vzvh4/wish/1385075201 Complicated - what are the demographics of the school?
