This program is designed to assist LEAs in avoiding racial isolation and the segregation or resegregation of schools and promoting student diversity. It will help LEAs to accomplish these goals by providing them with assistance in developing, implementing, or maintaining, or both, student assignment plans that fall within the parameters of recent Supreme Court decisions pertaining to school desegregation, which require a compelling governmental interest in avoiding racial isolation. LEAs shall use funds to seek assistance and expertise from student assignment specialists, demographers, community relations specialists, facility and other planners, curriculum specialists and others in comparable school districts as well as specialists and consultants from academia, non-profit organizations, Civil rights organizations and the private sector in preparing, adopting, or modifying, and implementing student assignment plans.
