Brief amici curiae provided to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit by the Council of the Great City Schools, the American Association of School Administrators, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals, in regard to the Board of Education of Oklahoma City Public Schools, Independent School District No. 89, Oklahoma County, v.

Brief report compiled by David J. Armour, social sciences researcher for the Rand Corporation. This report which was commissioned by the Norfolk City Attorney, argues the case to end cross-town busing for elementary school students and return to neighborhood schools. One of the main reasons to end cross-town busing and make a return to neighborhood schools, is to prevent further white and black flight from the city to neighboring areas (i.e. Virginia Beach) and resegregation of Norfolk schools, which was inevitably caused by court-ordered busing. The report also disputes a previous report by a Norfolk School Board consultant, which felt that neighborhood schools would increase segregation.

Report compiled by David J. Armour, social sciences researcher for the Rand Corporation. This report argues the case to end cross-town busing for elementary school students and return to neighborhood schools.

The report also disputes the fact that desegregation has improved academic achievement, because of poor performance of Norfolk students on statewide competency tests in the late 1970s.
