Orfield Quoted on St. Paul School Choice

Professor Orfield was cited in a recent Star Tribune article "A course in marketing," about the St. Paul public school district competing for students against private, charter, and public schools outside the district to retain local students. According to Orfield, "A school district that has an increasing number of racially and socially segregated schools has never been able to maintain a stable enrollment. As neighborhood schools become more segregated, people with choices don't choose them."
