Last year, with bipartisan support, two perennial anti-busing budget riders attached to the federal budget were removed.4 And this year, there is growing support in Congress to remove the final anti-busing provision, section 426 of the General Education Provisions Statute, originally passed in 1974.5 This effort is part ofa broader federal policy agenda of the school integration movement, reflected in the NCSD’s federal policy priorities for 2019, including removal of Section 426, passage of the Strength in Diversity competitive grants program, expanded funding for the Magnet Schools Assistance Program, for interdistrict school planning, and for the Equity Assistance Centers (which assist local districts in school integration planning).6 NCSD has also called for reinstatement of the 2011 school diversity guidance letter, reinstatement of the school integration incentives for Department of Education competitive grant funds, and linking the Magnet Schools Assistance Program with HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods public housing redevelopment program.7 A number of these policy proposals are part of the candidates’education platforms, which are reviewed in this brief.
