Excerpt from Report No; 2 to the Untied States District Court, District of Massachusetts, on Boston School Desegregation, Vol. 1: February 1, 1984
This is the Second Monitoring Report on Boston Public School Desegregation, filed by the Massachusetts Board and Commissioner of Education under the Orders of Disengagement entered by Federal District Court Judge W. Arthur Garrity, Jr. On December 23, 1982. The Report covers a six-month period of school operations and is based upon data collected by Massachusetts Department of Education monitors throughout the fall of 1983. As such, it represents the completion of the first one-year cycle of monitoring Boston School Department Operations under the Orders of Disengagement.
Our monitoring efforts have benefitted greatly from the comments we received on our First Monitoring Report (july 15, both those presented formally by the Court and the Boston School Department and those communicated to State Board members and State Department of Education staff by other parties and interested citizens. The experience gained from our initial monitoring effort has also given us a keener insight into the range of issues affecting the desegregation orders, including areas such as transportation services and parent organizations that are not traditionally subject to state oversight.
The present Monitoring Report reflects this growth in our ability to monitor. It is more comprehensive than Report #1, with greater detail.
