But an attorney for the Little Rock School District is blasting the report and says the researchers don't understand the requirements for desegregation.
The report was released Monday before a hearing on Wednesday in the long-running Pulaski County school desegregation lawsuit.
It says white students in charter schools are likely to come from schools with above-average white enrollment. And it says black and Hispanics in charter schools are likely to come from schools with above-average minority enrollment and that both cases make public schools more racially balanced.
Little Rock schools attorney Chris Heller said the report should be an embarrassment and that the authors obviously have no idea about any of the requirements for desegregation in Pulaski County.
