PROOF IS PRESENTED THAT RACIAL SEGREGATION IS INCREASING RATHER THAN DECREASING IN THE CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE SITUATION IS CREDITED TO A SCHOOL BOARD AND AN ADMINISTRATION THAT HAVE SHUNNED OR SUBVERTED THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF ITS OWN SELECTED EXPERTS, CONTINUED PAST PROCEDURES THAT FOSTER SEGREGATION, AND FAILED TO ADOPT ANY VIABLE PLAN FOR THE PROMOTION OF INTEGRATION. A DETAILED HISTORY OF CITY AND STATE LEGISLATION, PUBLIC CONTROVERSY, AND SCHOOL BOARD ACTIONS IS PRESENTED. STATISTICAL TABLES AND DATA PRESENT AN ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLLMENT, RACIAL RATIOS, OVERALL SEGREGATION, SEGREGATION BY RACIAL DESIGNATION, RECENT CHANGES IN RACIAL DESIGNATION, AND PUPIL SEGREGATION.
