Statewide, 83 percent of LSP transfers positively
affect racial integration in the sending schools, and LSP transfers have no significant effect on integration in receiving schools.
Specifically, the GAO has been asked to examine changes in student
racial isolation or
integration over time, including shifts caused by school closures or consolidations; state and local policies that
affect attendance areas or admissions, including open enrollment in public charter schools; voluntary policies intended to increase
integration; and the impact of
racial and socioeconomic isolation in public education.
