Abstract	This digest focuses on several issues in school desegregation that stem from recent changes in demography, policy, and research. Change in student diversity, the first consideration, is even more marked in cities than in the country as a whole, with only 9 of 47 urban cities in the Great City Schools network having a majority white enrollment. There have been changes in national desegregation policies as well as voluntary desegregation through school choice. The recent influx in immigrant children has brought into new focus the potential conflict between school desegregation and bilingual education as children whose native language is not English have needed to be grouped together for instruction, or integrated into mainstream classes without native language instruction. As the 1954 suit, Brown v Topeka Board of Education claimed, racial balance does appear to affect achievement. The systemic inequities of segregated schools are a reason why resources and school effectiveness issues have joined racial balance as aspects of desegregation politics. (SLD)
