-
The trend in the extent of school desegregation in Nashville-Davidson County, Tennessee, through the decade of the 1960's is examined in this report. This trend analysis has import for two reasons. The progress made toward eliminating the old pattern of racially separate school systems is assessed. Thus, the degree of compliance in one city with Federal court policy on school desegregation is examined. Detailed analysis of changes in the racial composition of schools over a period of time, by giving some basis for understanding what has happened in the past, generates a factual basis from which to project probable patterns of future change. Further, this factual base provides some information to guide policy making on and planning for school desegregation. Sections of the report focus on: segregation indexes, racial composition of schools, racial distribution of students patterns of change, tipping points, and unresolved questions. The study's major finding is that segregation in Nashville's schools decreased only slightly during the 1960's. Limited support for the "tipping point" hypothesis is found. However, changes in school composition tend to be in one direction -- toward a higher proportion of Negroes. The study also indicates that metropolitan government has not been the structural panacea for bringing about meaningfully integrated schools. (Author/AM)
