The parties in the Kansas
City, Mo., desegregation
case announced the accord last month, just weeks after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling absolved the state from having to
finance some of the
school district's most expansive and expensive desegregation remedies.
Two of the programs we studied - Delta State and San Diego's ELDA - offered full - year, paid administrative internships with expert principals,
financed by the State of Mississippi in one
case and by San Diego
city schools through a foundation grant in the other.
