This report examines the desegregation activities of the Santa Barbara school district focusing on the elementary schools. In 1968 the superintendent requested an onsite review study of Santa Barbara's elementary and high school districts to determine ethnic and racial balance in student enrollments. It was found that 9 of the elementary school district's 13 schools were racially and ethnically imbalanced. A report was issued that included recommendations for immediate action to improve intergroup relations and ethnic and racial imbalance. The methods and procedures used to draft and adopt the plan were not in compliance with the rules and review procedures developed by the board appointed 22 member task force and the guidelines adopted by the school board on February of 1972. Failure to comply with the guidelines for the development and adoption of a district desegregation plan created negative feelings among some parents and the district's teaching staff. As a result, a lawsuit was filed against the school board. After 2 years, the suit was finally ruled on by the Supreme Court in 1975. The court ruled in favor of the school district. The adoption and implementation of the Santa Barbara school district's desegregation plan in 1972 was accomplished with a moderate degree of success. (Author/AM)
