Abstract	This article talks about a colorblind plan that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district adopted for student assignment in 2002 that is producing more racially isolated schools, like Selwyn Elementary School, and more schools enrolling high concentrations of poor children. The 2-year-old plan gives parents a choice of schools and provides all families with spots in the "neighborhood schools" closest to their homes. Since parents overwhelmingly choose their local schools, the district's 148 schools are becoming more racially and socioeconomically imbalanced. Suburban classrooms are overcrowded, and seats are left empty in inner-city schools. In this article, the author talks about the issue of desegregation, among other racial issues involved. (ERIC).
