A school district in NC was in the news after abandoning its procedures for socioeconomic integration. According to a recent NYT article the NAACP submitted a complaint to the US Dpt of Education Office for Civil Rights, which is investigating whether the new policies have lead to resegregation, and that a national school accreditation agency is conducting a similar investigation.
Now the NC district is considering a new plan: integration by achievement. Under the plan, "no school would have an overwhelming number of failing students."
