  Milliken v. Bradley
Scotland Neck Board of Education, 407 U.S. (1972) (state or local officials prevented from carving out a new school district from an existing district that was in process of dismantling a dual school system); cf.
This and other financial limitations, such as those on bonding and the working of the state aid formula whereby suburban districts were able to make far larger per pupil expenditures despite less tax effort, have created and perpetuated systematic educational inequalities.
Although the list of issues presented for review in petitioners' briefs and petitions for writs of certiorari do not include arguments on the findings of segregative violations on the part of the Detroit defendants, two of the petitioners argue in brief that these findings constitute error.

Bradley in affirming the denial of interdistrict relief.
Bradley does not require as a predicate to the imposition of an interdistrict desegregation remedy against a given school district that that school district be found to have committed an independent constitutional violation.
Bradley, the absence of any significant present segregative effects outside of the KCMSD precludes an interdistrict remedy in this case for the State's intradistrict constitutional violations.

 Missouri v. Jenkins II
The proper response to an intradistrict violation is an intradistrict remedy, see Milliken I, supra, at 746-747; Milliken II, supra, at 280, that serves to eliminate the racial identity of the schools within the effected school district by eliminating, as far as practicable, the vestiges of de jure segregation in all facets of their operations.
Nothing in Milliken I suggests that the District Court in that case could have circumvented the limits on its remedial authority by requiring the State of Michigan, a constitutional violator, to implement a magnet program designed to achieve the same interdistrict transfer of students that we held was beyond its remedial authority.
Milliken II, supra, at 280 (remedial decree "must be designed as nearly as possible 'to restore the victims of discriminatory conduct to the position they would have occupied in the absence of such conduct'").

Bradley, supra, this Court considered the proper scope of a federal court's equity decree in the context of a school desegregation case.
In Milliken, there was no finding of unconstitutional action on the part of the suburban school officials and no demonstration that the violations committed in the operation of the Detroit school system had had any significant segregative effects in the suburbs.
Footnote 12 The Court in Milliken required either a showing of an interdistrict violation or a significant segregative effect "[b]efore the boundaries of separate and autonomous school districts may be set aside by consolidating the separate units for remedial purposes." Id., at 744.

Bradley (1974) (Milliken I) the United States Supreme Court began its retreat of attempting to achieve racial integration in America's schools.
In HRC V the Philadelphia School District sought unsuccessfully to challenge the use of race-based assignment to effectuate desegregation, and the Court's authority to address de facto segregation.
While the Court's support for race-based remedies and plans to address de facto segregation are still enunciated, perhaps the most important development in HRC V is the shift in focus on the part of the Court and the Commission to assuring equal educational opportunity to all students (HRC V, p.671, emphasis added).

Bradley, 418 U.S. The four dissenters argued both that state involvement was so pervasive that an inter-district order was permissible and that such an order was mandated because it was the State's obligation to establish a unitary system, an obligation which could not be met without an inter-district order.
At first, the difficulty was obscured through the creation of presumptions that eased the burden of proof on plaintiffs, but later the Court had appeared to stiffen the requirements on plaintiffs.

 The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law - Brown V BOE   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Respondent Bradley's plan was limited solely to pupil reassignment; the proposal called for extensive transportation of students to achieve the plan's ultimate goal of assuring that every school within the district reflected, within 15 percentage points, the racial ratio of the school district as a whole.
Further proceedings were deemed appropriate, however, particularly since the Bradley respondents had previously been granted leave to file a second amended complaint to allege interdistrict violations on the part of the state and local defendants.
Invoking our holding in Milliken I, petitioners claim that, since the constitutional violation found by the District Court was the unlawful segregation of students on the basis of race, the court's decree must be limited to remedying unlawful pupil assignments.

Board of Education and Keyes - Southern cases of de juro segregation (legal under state law) - Milliken was a case of de facto segregation as a result of the dividing lines between the school districts of Michigan.
It was a fact that the urban area of Detroit was populated predominately by fl citizens, while the suburbs were predominately white.

The Court of Appeals observed, inter alia, that the increases were designed to eliminate the vestiges of state-imposed segregation by improving the ``desegregative attractiveness'' of the district and by reversing ``white flight'' to the suburbs.

 ACSBlog: The Blog of the American Constitution Society: "The Final Nail in Brown's Coffin"
Bradley, a 1974 Supreme Court decision, the Court held that suburban school districts could not be included in desegregation remedies unless the districts themselves were complicit in the underlying segregation.
Milliken, white flight, and the 1990s cases therefore effectively ended mandatory integration under Brown.
That fact alone signals Brown's obsolescence: most neighborhoods, in fact, are racially segregated and thus simply do not contain sufficient numbers of White students to permit meaningful integration; and even in those minority of districts with minimal district-wide diversity, it is often difficult to generate the political will to pursue formal, voluntary integration efforts.

By virtue of this decision, District Courts were given the power to gerrymander attendance zones and enforce bussing as a means to transport students to schools that were not in their neighborhoods.
Bradley II (1977) gave authorization to lower courts to order states to fund additional educational programs that would remedy the negative educational effects of imposed segregation.
In 1995, the question before the Court was whether a District Court may have exceeded its power by imposing an increase in the property taxes levied by the Kansas City, Missouri School District, in an effort to ensure the funding for the desegregation of the district’s public schools.

Three misguided routes led to the Court's debilitating decision in Milliken I: First, the requirement of proof of purposeful discrimination by the suburban district as a precondition for an interdistrict remedy confuses issues of right with issues of remedy.
The Milliken I blow was softened slightly by the Court's holding in Milliken II, allowing for modest compensatory programs in a narrow class of cases.

 Oyez: Milliken v. Bradley, 418 U.S. 717 (1974), U.S. Supreme Court Case Summary & Oral Argument
After reviewing the case and concluding the system was segregated, a district court ordered the adoption of a desegregation plan that encompassed eighty-five outlying school districts.
In a 5-to-4 decision, the Court held that "[w]ith no showing of significant violation by the 53 outlying school districts and no evidence of any interdistrict violation or effect," the district court's remedy was "wholly impermissible" and not justified by Brown v.
The Court noted that desegregation, "in the sense of dismantling a dual school system," did not require "any particular racial balance in each 'school, grade or classroom.'" The Court also emphasized the importance of local control over the operation of schools.
