Abstract	This collection of papers focuses on how to overcome challenges related to economic and racial school segregation through public school choice. The first section presents "Report of the Task Force" (the importance of school integration, overcoming challenges to integration, and case studies in integration). It also includes additional comments by Lowell Weicker, John Degnan, and James Ryan. The collection of background papers look at the following issues: "Trends in School Segregation" (David Rusk); "Estimating the Impact of Economic Integration of Schools on Racial Integration" (Duncan Chaplin); "La Crosse: One School District's Drive to Create Socioeconomic Balance" (Richard Mial); "Wake County Schools: A Question of Balance" (Todd Silberman); "Controlled Choice in Cambridge, Massachusetts" (Edward B. Fiske); and "St. Louis: Desegregation and School Choice in the Land of Dred Scott" (William H. Freivogel). (Papers contain endnotes and the book contains an index.) (SM)
