Common School Task Force Report
The Century Foundation
9/18/2002  9:30-11:00 AM
The National Press Club, 529 14th street, NW, Washington, DC

This new report takes a fresh look at how to promote equality and achievement in education, and offers a plan to improve both through economic integration of America’s public schools. The Task Force commissioned new research concluding that schools are becoming increasingly segregated by economic status, findings consistent with other disturbing reports observing resegregation of schools by race. The Task Force recommendations, for integration through public school choice rather than forced busing, are based on lessons learned from programs in Wisconsin, Missouri, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. At the press briefing, task force members will discuss their recommendations and explain why integration through public school choice is more promising than current strategies, like testing and vouchers.
