  • Evaluation of the Boston Controlled Choice Student Assignment Plan: a Reanalysis and Interpretation of the Bain and Company Study
    Evaluation of the Boston Controlled Choice Student Assignment Plan: A Reanalysis and Interpretation of the Bain and Company Study by Charles V. Willie Professor of Education and Urban Studies Graduate School of Education Harvard University • 1996 ! The Boston school desegregation experience has been writ large in books, articles and newspapers of this nation. J. Anthony Lukas chronicled the trials and tribulations of desegregation in a best­ selling book entitled Common Ground (1985) . David Halberstan called it a bittersweet book on the end of an American dream. Robert Dentler and Marvin Scott, court experts who prepared an inside account of the Boston Desegregation case called Schools on Trial (1981), said "Boston's notorious school desegregation conflict was regarded as the type that no one in his right mind would want to take place in his city. 'Don't let this become another Boston' was the slogan that spread from New York City to Los Angeles" (Denter and Scott 1981:x). Actually, the Boston school desegregation plan ordered by the U.S. District Court in 1975 had some "educationally beneficial and even novel" components, according to education planners, Dentler and Scott; they also state that the implementation of the plan was 11 overwhelmingly peaceful and successful 11 but that few heard of these aspects of the plan because "no one was listening" (Dentler and Scott 1981:x). After thirteen years of court-ordered and court -monitored school desegregation, the U.S. District Court gave Boston the privilege of developing a new student assignment plan. However, the Court explicitly stated that the new plan would not be acceptable if it resegregated the Boston Public Schools.

Canty, a former administrator and teacher in the Boston Public Schools, discusses the impact of the 1974 Garrity decision, which required some students to be bused between Boston neighborhoods with the intention of creating racial balance in the public schools. Mr. Canty discusses the de facto segregation of the Boston Public Schools prior to the Garrity decision, his role in implementing the decision, the political and media reaction to the decision, and his feelings on how forced busing could have been prevented through other options. Mr. Canty also reflects on the roles his colleagues and Judge Garrity’s designees played in implementing the Garrity decision and the lasting effects of the decision on the educational system in the city of Boston. 120 Tremont Street, Boston, MA 02108 | Tel: 617.305.6277 | Fax: 617.305.6275 1 Subject Headings Boston Public Schools Busing for school integration Canty, John M.
