Contributing to the Harms of Racial Isolation: Analysis of Requests for Teacher Transfers in a Large Urban School District.

Bruno, James E.; Doscher, Mary-Lynn

Educational Administration Quarterly, v17 n2 p93-108 Spr 1981

The results showed a potential "flight" of higher quality teachers away from minority populated inner-city schools. (Author/RW)
