School officials, civil rights advocates, and students and parents deserve praise for the success the Jefferson County (Kentucky) Public Schools integration program has had in placing almost all schools within the enrollment guidelines for the 1986-87 school year for the first time since school desegregation began. Recommendations made for continuing successful integration efforts include the following: (1) a return to counting enrollment in mid-November; (2) possible boundary adjustments to accommodate adding 550 more black students to the inner-county secondary schools; (3) hiring of more black teachers and administrators; (4) use of hiring practices to break the destructive pattern of racial identifiability in the assignment of professional personnel that has emerged in some schools; and (5) support of efforts to increase housing desegregation. Charts are included which illustrate findings. Two appendices provide statistics on student enrollment by race in Jefferson County Public Schools, and administrators and teachers by race and region in the county schools. (PS)
