- "Research on parent/school relationships shows that parents are important factors in children's success. Yet schools sometimes buffer from the community when threatened with uncertainty. The period of desegregation in the history of education was a vivid example of a time when parent/school relations were in crisis."
- "Unlike previous desegregation studies which focused on achievement, this research provides insight into personal perceptions within its historical context. Results showed that: (1) Although surveyed, parents were not included in the actual decision making. (2) Parents were invited and encouraged to participate at the new schools. (3) Desegregation, however unpleasant, was beneficial for children because of the opportunities it made available. (4) Parents did not feel that their lack of participation was detrimental to their children's later successes because they continued to encourage and support education at home. (5) Although invited by school officials, parents from the segregated schools did not feel welcome at the new school and felt that the distance was too far for them to participate actively. (6) If given the opportunity again, rather than busing minority children, participants would prefer the two-way busing of children into their neighborhood schools, believing that while integration was necessary, the neighborhood lost its sense of community when the schools closed."
- "The site selected for this historical/qualitative study was the Riverside (California) Unified School District, which implemented a desegregation plan prior to court ordered busing and with comparatively little resistance from the community. Data were collected in three forms: (1) archival documents; (2) university studies; and (3) interviews with individuals who had been affected by the decision (students, parents and school personnel)."
- "With the resurgence of interest in neighborhood schools, this study shows that desegregation was a necessary experience to enforce equality in schools. It also gives examples of how school district personnel can benefit from parent involvement when implementing reform."
- "The purpose of this study was to determine if parent participation changed during a time of crisis, if parents were invited into or excluded from the educative process, and whether students suffered from lack of parental involvement."
