THE INTEREST OF THE AMICI

The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. 
("LDF") is a New York non-profit membership corporation 
created in 1939. LDF is authorized by its charter to render 
legal services free of charge to persons suffering discrim­
ination on account of race or color whose financial circum­
stances prevent them from engaging counsel on their own 
behalf.

Because public education affords the principal 
means by which disadvantaged members of our society can hope 
to improve their status, elimination of discriminatory bar­
riers to equal educational opportunity has been a primary 
focus of LDF's activities. Since Brown v. Board of Education, 
347 U.S. 483 (1954) and in many subsequent cases, LDF attor­
neys have served as counsel for plaintiffs or as friend of 
the court in major school desegration cases before the 
United States Supreme Court and other federal courts.

Educational opportunities may be as effectively 
abridged by inequities in public aid to education as by 
segregation in school programs. For this reason, LDF has 
been involved in efforts to reform school finance systems 
which discriminate against racial and ethnic minorities 
such as San Antonio Independent School District v. Rodriguez, 
411 U.S. 1 (1973), where it appeared as amicus curiae.

The New York Metropolitan Council of The American 
Jewish Congress ("The Metropolitan Council") is a division of 
the American Jewish Congress organized and existing in the 
greater New York area, including the five boroughs of New 
York City. Like its parent organization, which has appeared 
as amicus curiae in many civil rights cases including Brown 
v. Board of Education, supra, the Metropolitan Council has 
long been concerned with issues of educational equity.

The Department of Education, Diocese of Brooklyn 
("The Department") is an independent corporation formed 
pursuant to the New York Education Law to administer Catholic 
education programs in the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn 
and Queens. Additionally, the Department serves as an advo­
cate, before the New York City Board of Education and federal 
education agencies, for Catholic children within its service 
area who attend public schools. This case presents issues 
which touch the children whose educational interests the 
Department endeavors to serve.

The Council of Churches of the City of New York 
("The Council") is a non-profit corporation which has repre­
sented the Protestant and Orthodox Churches of the New York 
City boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten 
Island since 1943. The Council and its members are vitally



4

concerned with promoting the equitable distribution of school 
aid to the children of New York City.

In this case, the lower courts found disparities 
in State education aid to many New York school districts, 
including the State's four largest city school districts.-^ 
These disparities deprive many children of vitally important 
constitutional rights. Most of this State's minority children 
attend schools in the cities which are most severely deprived 
of adequate educational resources and will be profoundly 
affected by the outcome of this case. This brief is submitted 
to focus attention on those children.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
The facts found by Trial Term and affirmed in the 

Appellate Division present a stark picture of educational 
deprivation. By systematically underestimating the educa­
tion costs of this State's largest cities, and consistently 
over-rating the cities' ability to meet those costs, the 
State of New York denies equal educational opportunities 
to children who attend urban public schools in violation of 
the guarantees of this State's Constitution. Board of Educa- 
tion v. Nyquist, 94 M.2d 466 (Sup. Ct. Nassau Co. 1978) ,

1/ The city school districts of New York City, Buffalo,
Rochester and Syracuse appeared in Trial Term as inter- venor—piaintiffs and are appellees and cross—appellants 
here. They are referred to herein as "the cities."

aff'd as modified, 83 A.D.2d 217 (2d Dep't 1981). Indeed, 
it seems obvious that no school finance system which consist­
ently disserves children in city schools can fulfill the 
State's constitutional obligations to provide a public edu­
cation to all of its children and to accord them all equal 
protection of the laws.

Similarly, a system which in its design disserves
the overwhelming majority of the State's minority pupils
cannot be upheld. But that is precisely the system which New
York operates. Eighty-four percent of this State's minority

2/children attend resource-starved city schools.—' This pro­
foundly disproportionate and adverse impact on minority 
children was recognized in the Appellate Division, 83 A.D.2d 
217, 254-55 (Weinstein, J., concurring) and in Trial Term's 
findings of fact (A. 6514, IFF. 162). It furnishes compel­
ling support for affirmance of the judgment below.

The record shows that minority children suffer 
three distinct types of disadvantage in this school finance 
system. Urban schools receive less than their fair share

New York, Racial/Ethnic Distribution of Public School

"App. A").



of state support because the State purports but fails to 
allocate aid on the basis of local ability to meet local 
costs. Thus, at the first level, minority children suffer 
disproportionately just because the vast majority of them 
attend city schools. Second, as the poorest of the urban 
poor, minority children suffer the various educational handi­
caps flowing from poverty even more than other urban chil­
dren. Thus, when the State aid formulas deprive the cities 
of ability to meet needs resulting from poverty, minority 
children are the most deprived. Third, the schools which 
minority children attend are in the main predominantly "minor­
ity" schools. By depriving them of their fair share, the 
state aid formulas condemn these schools to an inferior and 
increasingly segregated status. The State's financing method 
ultimately perpetuates separate and unequal education for the 
minority children of this State.

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT

The Appellate Division held that this State's 
equal protection guarantee forbids invidious disparities in 
State aid to education. 83 A.D.2d at 242-44. It also held 
that the Education Article requires the State to allocate 
school aid so that educable urban children can in fact be 
educated. 83 A.D.2d at 251. The minority impact shown here



7

leaves no doubt that the State disserves its minority children 
even more than others. In short, the facts on which we focus 
here establish strong reason for affirmance of the judgment 
appealed from in accordance with the reasoning of the lower 
courts. We rely on the briefs of appellees, plaintiffs and 
intervenor-plaintiffs below, which show abundant support and 
justification for the judgment of the Appellate Division.

Additionally, we focus on important equal protec­
tion implications of this adverse minority impact. Measured 
against the equal protection guarantee of this State's Consti­
tution, N.Y. Const. Art. I, § 11, that minority impact fur­
nishes strong ground for affirmance. The consequences of the 
State's methods of financing education have been known for 
decades. In the guise of effectuating reform, the State 
continues to allocate fewer resources to the schools most 
minority children attend. This foreseen disparate impact, 
coupled with the at best ineffective remedial measures and 
unsupportable justifications, gives rise to a strong infer­
ence that invidious discriminatory purpose was a motivating 
factor. Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development 
Corp. , 429 U.S. 252, 265-67 ( 1977). At a minimum, this severe, 
disparate impact on minorities raises the specter of invidious 
discriminatory purpose. Since the legislative decisions have 
produced such racially disparate results, an intermediate 
standard of equal protection review must be applied.



s

Finally, because our Constitution requires the 
state to provide for the education of all of its children, 
the minority impact shown here means that this method of 
financing education must fail. N.Y. Const, Art. XI, § 1.
The State's self-imposed obligation to support education,
"an element of American life that is essential, especially 
for minority children," Columbus Board of Education v. Penick, 
443 U.S. 449, 480 (1979) (Powell, J., dissenting), does not 
vary with the race of the children affected. The judgment 
below should be affirmed.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

A. The School Finance System Discriminates 
Against Urban Children_________________

The State's school finance system, consisting of aid 
allocation formulas which comprise what one Justice at the 
Appellate Division called a "veritable jungle of labyrinthine 
incongruity",3/ 83 A.D.2d at 269 (Hopkins, J., dissenting), 
provide about 40 percent of all education funding in the 
State. Local property tax receipts support all but five 
percent of the remainder. A major purpose of the school 
finance system is to "provide 'an apportionment [which] will 
vary according to the ability of the community to support its

3/ See N.Y. EDUC. LAW § 3602.



9

education program.'" (A. 4013; A. 6491, IFF. 1) In reality, 
the school finance system delivers a grossly inequitable share 
of resources to the cities because the system ignores the 
realities of the world in which city schools operate.

The State gives inadequate aid to cities in several
ways. First, the State defines local fiscal capacity on the
basis of local property wealth and excludes other factors
bearing heavily on local ability to support education. The
State ignores the reality that large cities confront enormous
costs (many of them state-mandated) for essential non-school

4/services. Like school costs, this "municipal overburden"— 
must be funded primarily from finite local property tax 
receipts. (A. 6491-6507, IFF. 2-110; A. 6508-10, IFF. 117-130) 
The cities also face substantially higher costs than their 
non-urban counterparts in purchasing most components, from 
teacher salaries to school buildings, of an education 
program. (A. 6507, IFF. 111-116; A. 6512-15, IFF. 148-167)
The State is blind to these cost differentials in allocating 
education aid.

More importantly, New York's school finance system 
ignores the "educational overburdens" city schools face 
because they must educate overwhelming numbers of children 
with various special educational requirements. By 1980-81,

4/ The parties and courts below used this term to refer to 
the problem of severe non-educational demands on the 
urban tax base.



10

the cities collectively enrolled 37 percent of the State's 
children, but 56 percent of its pupils with special educa­
tional needs ("PSEN").-/ (A. 6521-22, IFF. 217) Fifty-one
percent of such students were concentrated in New York City 
alone (A. 6510, IFF. 138; A. 6522, IFF. 218). City schools 
also enrolled 44 percent of the State's handicapped pupils in 
1980-81. (A. 6522, IFF. 219) The cities have the State's
highest concentrations of costly vocational education students 
(A. XIII 6526, IFF. 240), and are over-burdened with non- 
English speaking pupils. (A. 6552-53, IFF. 363-367; App. A, 
Tables 1 , 2

The education of pupils with special educational 
needs and mental or physical handicaps, non-English speakers, 
and vocational education students is especially costly. (A. 
6547, IFF. 350; A. 6554, IFF. 373; A. 6555-56, IFF. 385-387) 
The State aid allocation formula is in theory designed to 
reflect and meet the extra costs of educating students 
affected by various forms of educational disadvantage. But 
the aid received by three of the four city school districts 
at the time of trial and in 1980-81 actually fell below

5/ "PSEN" are children who score below certain norms on 
standardized achievement tests. See, N.Y. EDUC.
LAW § 3602 1.e.

6/ The current statistics mirror findings below which 
focused on the 1974—75 school year. (A. 6510, IFF.
138; A. 6522, IFF. 219; A. 6543, IFF. 324)



11

7/ • •statewide average funding levels.—' The cities must 
stretch these below average funds to meet their above 
average needs.

Moreover, the cities must address additional needs 
not accounted for in the State aid allocation. As a result 
of their poverty many poor children suffer from educational 
deprivation. Impaired learning readiness (A. 6529-6532, IFF. 
259-271), impaired learning progress (A. 6532-6535, IFF. 
272-285), impaired mental, emotional and physical health 
{A. 6535-43, IFF. 286-322), and high rates of school absentee­
ism (A. 6518-20, IFF. 191-199) are specific poverty-related 
problems identified below. These poverty-based problems 
affect many children who are not otherwise handicapped.
Because the cities' education resources are finite and so 
many city children are "special," less education money is 
available for "normal" children. As a result, many urban 
children fail to attain rudimentary levels of educational 
achievement. The Appellate Division found that this was true 
to an "unconscionable" degree. (83 A.D.2d at 232).

But the state aid formula does not simply fail to 
compensate for the educational overburdens the cities face.

7/ The single exception was Buffalo which, because of its 
relatively low property wealth, was relatively well 
served by the State aid allocation formula. (A. 6511, 
IFF. 140)



12

It also penalizes them for their inexorably high rates of 
absenteeism, because it apportions aid and measures local 
wealth by the number of children in "average daily attend­
ance"-^ in city schools. This measure ignores the cities' 
need to provide for large numbers of enrolled children 
who need more education aid because of the very same poor 
attendance records which depress State aid to the cities.
(A. 6516, IFF. 179-81; A. 6517, IFF. 187-89; A. 6520, IFF. 211) 
The result is a severe systematic inflation in the State's 
estimation of city schools' ability to meet their costs with 
local and state funds.

In consequence, city school children as a group 
are "subjected to educational deprivation" (83 A.D.2d at 233, 
citing and quoting from 94 M.2d at 518-19) by the school 
finance system. These results could not be squared, by either 
Trial Term or the Appellate Division, with the commands oi 
the Equal Protection Clause (Art. I, § 11) and Education 
Article (Art. XI, § 1) of this State's Constitution.

B. The Problems of Urban SchoolsAre Disproportionately Problems 
of Minority Children_________

Because of the geographic concentration of racial 
and ethnic minorities in this State, opportunities denied to 
city school children are, pro tanto, opportunities denied to

8/ see N.Y. EDUC. LAW § 3602 1.d.



13

the vast majority of minority children.— 83 A.D.2d at 254- 
57 (Weinstein, J., concurring). (A. 6514, IFF. 162) Undis­
puted evidence introduced at trial showed that, in 1974-75, 
there were 3,422,059 children in pre-kindergarten to twelfth 
grade programs in this State. Sixteen and one-half percent 
(565,293) of those children were black. But in that year, 
fully 80.5 percent of New York State's black public school 
children attended the cities' schools with the remaining 
1 9 . 5 percent scattered throughout the rest of the State.
New York City alone accounted for 71.6% of the black pupils. 
The State's 344,116 Hispanic children that year (10.1 per­
cent) were similarly clustered: 89.6% of them attended
schools in New York City, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester. 
(A. 2399-2400)

The most recent records compiled by State educa­
tion officials show the same pattern. In 1980-81, 517,007 
(18.2 percent) of the State's 2,848,528 public school chil­

trated in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. 
Again New York City accounted for 70.4 percent of the black 
pupils in the State. Similarly, 329,964 (11.6 percent) of 
New York's public school children were Hispanic. Nearly 89

percent were concentrated in the cities' schools 87. 
percent in New York City alone. (App. A, Tables 2, 3) 
Together, black and Hispanic students comprised 29.8 percent 
of the State's public school children in 1980-81, but 83.1 
percent of them converged in the cities. (App. A, Tables

2, 3)
As the courts below found, urban children as a 

class are deprived. 94 M.2d at 518-19; 83 A.D.2d at 233;
83 A .D.2d at 252-55 (Weinstein, J., concurring). Minority 
children thus disproportionately suffer educational depriva­
tion for the simple reason that they are disproportionately

urban.

C. Poverty Creates Educational Disad­
vantage and Educational Overburden,
Which Disproportionately Affect 
New York's Minority Children._____.

Trial Term's findings, affirmed by the Appellate 
Division, establish the existence of eight "educational over­
burdens" in city schools, which are "principally a function 
of the conditions of life in urban poverty" (A. 6529, IFF. 
259) and which the state financing system improperly fails to 
address. (A. 6529-6558, IFF. 258-408) New York's minority 
children are often very poor even relative to other city 
children, and suffer the educational disadvantages caused by 
poverty to a disproportionate extent.



15

Indeed, the courts and parties below used race as 
a probable indicator of impoverishment. As plaintiff inter­
veners' witness Landers testified:

[T]he facts of ethnicity and the facts of social 
class are so closely interwoven that it is almost 
impossible to separate them. Not all blacks, of 
course, are poor. Not all whites are middle class 
or well to do . . .On the other hand, it is a fact 
that the great majority of black people in our city 
are poor, very poor.

{A. 2302) In 1976, New York City— ^ had 65 percent of the 
State's children eligible for services under Title I of the 
federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, 20 U.S.C.

largest percentages of "low income" students had relatively
low percentages of students classified as "others" (i»e.,
children who were neither black, Hispanic, American Indian,
Alaskan, Asian or of Pacific Islands extraction). These
figures demonstrate a persistent, close correlation between

1 3 /race and poverty in the city schools.—
Testimony of Frank Messer, co-deputy superintendent 

of New York City Community School District 8 which includes 
the mainly black and Hispanic Morrisania section of the South 
Bronx (A. 2882-83), illustrates the reality underlying the 
statistics. Messer characterized the housing of his Morrisania 
pupils as "dilapidated, except for what you would think of as 
the city projects, which are somewhat better than the rest of 
the area down there." Between 90 and 99 percent of Morrisania 
children were eligible for free school lunches at the time of 
trial.— / (A. 2884) In a nearby school with a 99 percent 
black and Hispanic enrollment, 95-98 percent of the students 
met school lunch eligibility criteria. (A. 3122-23)

Single mothers headed many families in the Morrisania 
area with large numbers of children present in the home. (A. 
2885) City-wide, 25 percent of New York's children lived 
with a mother alone in 1973 according to a high-level city 
school administrator. However, 43 percent of such children 
were black, and only 13 percent were neither black nor 
Hispanic. (A. 2302)

Testimony of trial witnesses confirmed that condi-
1 5 /tions of educational overburden flowing from poverty—

are overwhelmingly encountered in the cities' predominantly
black and/or Hispanic schools. Witness O'Donnell, a remedial
reading teacher from a 90 percent minority (60 percent black)

16/New York City high school (A. 3292; O'Donnell Tr. 8276),
described the consequences of impaired learning readiness
among ninth and tenth graders in his school:

[W]e have a number of students that do not have 
basic readiness skills. They are illiterate.
They may know some of the letters of the alphabet 
but not all of them. They may not know the sounds 
that those letters make, and they may not have, 
for instance, auditory discrimination. They may 
not be able to hear the difference between p and 
b, m and n, and that of course is necessary if you 
are going to begin to learn to read, to have those 
skills.

18

(A. 3294) The impact of these deficiencies was apparent from 
O'Donnell's ninth-grade students' March 1976 standardized 
reading test results. Seventy percent of those tested fell 
two or more years below grade level, and 25 percent fell more 
than five years below grade level (A. 3292-93)

Those in need of remedial help were not, as one 
might suppose, entirely non-native speakers of English. The 
following colloquy between O'Donnell and the trial judge is 
revealing:

BY THE COURT:
Q. What proportion of those 750 students 
had come through the lower grades as compared 
to kids that came into high school perhaps from 
other places and things like that? Are they 
mostly —
A. I would say the majority of the black
kids, and that is the majority of the kids in the 
school, are native New Yorkers. A good number 
of the Hispanic kids are not, and speak another 
language at home.
Q. That is another problem, but with the ones 
you talked about, the black children who were 
native New Yorkers, then would the inference be 
that this has been a reading problem that has per­
sisted through grades 1 through 8 when you get 
them in the ninth grade?
A. I would say that somewhere along the line 
something broke down, whether it was a truancy

17/ Precarious funding available at the time of trial per­
mitted O'Donnell to make special remedial efforts for 
75 percent of his students who needed such help 
(App. D, O'Donnell Tr. 8284). Even with funding he 
could only hope to bring ninth to eleventh grade students 
to an eighth grade reading level. (App. D, O'Donnell 
Tr. 8285)



19

pattern or whatever, but yes. They are native New 
Yorkers, most of them, and that is what happens.

(App. D, O'Donnell Tr. 8370-71.)
Trial witnesses linked another poverty-based edu­

cational overburden to minority children in particular. 
Problems caused by poverty prevent many urban children 
from attending school regularly. Poor attendance leads to 
academic failure and ultimately to total abandonment of the 
effort to learn. {A. 6518-20, IFF. 191-200) The magnitude 
of the problem for minority children is reflected in the 
racial composition of New York City high schools. In 1976, 
black and Hispanic students made up, respectively, 37.1 and 
28.4 percent of students in grades pre-kindergarten through 
12.— ^ Black students comprised only 28 percent of the 
group in grade nine. By grade twelve, they were only 19 
percent, while Hispanic representation fell to five percent. 
(App. D, Wilner Tr., 8930-32) Viewed another way, while
56 percent of ninth grade students were white, by the twelfth

1 9 /grade, that group increased to 70 percent.—

New York, Racial/Ethnic Distribution of Public School 
Students and Staff, New York State, (1975-76).

19/ One trial witness estimated New York City's overall
dropout rate, the percentage of ninth graders failing to 
graduate, at 50 percent. (A. 4158) As indicated in the 
text, those failing to graduate were disproportionately 
black or Hispanic.



20

Handicapped children in city schools receive fewer 
educational resources than their counterparts elsewhere.
(A. 6522-26) Here too, the ultimate victims are dispropor­
tionately minority children. For a survey conducted by the 
U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, school 
officials classified city school children by several types 
of educational impairment, according to race. They labeled 
Black and Hispanic children as deficient at least in propor­
tion with their representation in the school population. 
However, whites were generally underrepresented in compar­
ison with their overall numbers. We abstract the most 
telling statistics in Table II, attached to this brief as 
Appendix E.

In short, the minority children of this State are 
especially in need of compensatory educational effort. These 
children need more educational resources but the State give 
them less.

D. Reduced Aid to Cities Condemns 
Minorities to Separate and 
Unequal Schools.______________

The State aid allocation system deprives cities of 
their fair share of education aid. This decreased aid creates 
significant educational disadvantages for predominantly 
minority schools.

One trial witness described the increasing concen­
tration of black and Hispanic students within New York City's
school system:



21

[W]hen the first ethnic census was taken in 1957, 
approximately 18 percent of the total population 
of the school[s] was black. Approximately 14 
percent of the total population of the [schools] 
was Hispanic . . . and 68 percent fell into the 
category that we call others, that is other than 
black or Hispanic. . . . [I]n 1974 36 percent of
the school population of New York City . . . 
was black, 28 percent was Hispanic; and 36 percent 
fell into the category that we call others . . . .
That would mean, then, that is the first time in 
1974 that the black population had outstripped 
all other ethnic categories as used by the State.

*  *  *

As one views the school population in New York 
City [today], one finds a hug[e] almost contin­
uous belt of minority group population in Brooklyn 
extending from the East River on the West, going 
eastward in a hug[e] arc across Bedford Stuyvesant 
and up to the Queens border. Then with small 
breaks of white population, there continues 
that curve into Queens going southward, so that a 
good part of southern Queens now is composed of 
children who attend minority schools and who are 
of minority group status.

(App. D, Landers Tr. 5189-91.)
Statistics available at trial (for 1974-75) showed

that the State's black children comprised 16.5 percent of the
total public school population (A. 2399), but 50.9 percent of

20/them attended schools which were at least 50 percent black.— '

V

Overall, 51.2 percent of the State's minorities attended 
schools which were at least 90 percent minority and 75.5 
percent attended at least 50 percent minority schools.
(A. 2399; App. F, Table 4) In 1980-81, black children com­
prised 18.2% of total enrollment, but 53.7 percent attended 
schools which were between 50 and 99.9% black. (App. A., 
Tables 1,5) That year 50.8 percent of black and Hispanic 
children attended schools which were at least 90% black and
Hispanic; 75.4% attended schools with at least 50% minority

21 /enrollments. (App. A., Table 4)—
The State aid allocation formulas are related to 

this consistent pattern of segregation in two distinct ways. 
First, by depriving the cities of their fair and needed share 
of educational aid, they condemn the predominately minority 
schools to a secondary and inferior status. Second, by thus 
disadvantaging predominately minority, urban schools, they 
provide a significant impetus for flight to suburban schools; 
those with the means to do so (principally whites) will send

21/ For New York City's public shools, the problem appears 
to be intractable. One court has concluded that:

[A]n overall expectation that the City school 
district will find its problems of segregation 
solved by time and migration of population does 
not exist.

their children elsewhere. This was noted by a member of the
Board of Regents long ago:

The most serious problem related to education 
in our society is the flight of the middle and 
upper class whites to suburban areas. One 
principal reason for this is because we have 
allowed, by our taxing and financing methods, 
the building of better educational systems 
outside our cities.

Statement of Regent Genrich, Journal of the Board of Regents
at 359 (October 23-25, 1974).

Increased aid could make a difference, as testi-
2 2/mony taken at trial shows.— ' But the State's aid formulas 

condemn the bulk of minority children to suffer educational 
disadvantages which strike hardest in the cities. By depriv­
ing city schools of needed funding, the State effectively 
condemns urban minority children to increasingly separate 
and unequal educational opportunities.

22/ With adequate resources, a South Bronx high school with 
a 99% black and Hispanic enrollment participated in a 
citywide magnet school program designed to "encourage 
schools to stand for a particular kind of educational 
philosophy for which . . . parents and students could 
opt." (A. 3151) With a special grant of $10,000 the 
program achieved measurable success in its first year 
of operation, but immediate cutbacks followed. At 
trial, the school's principal described the results:

We have parents from the wealthy North Bronx 
opting to send their kids at their cost down to 
our school and yet at the same time we have no 
support. They are eliminating all the programs 
that made them originally opt for this. One of 
the things they opted for was this kind of 
philosophy [of] education, and now for all 
intents and purposes in September of next year 
that will not exist.

ARGUMENT
I

THE SCHOOL FINANCE SYSTEM DEPRIVES 
NEW YORK'S MINORITY CHILDREN OF 
EQUAL PROTECTION OF THE LAWS

A. The State's Equal Protection Clause 
Accords Minority Children the Right 
to an Equal Education______________

The Appellate Division found the evidence of dis­
parity and discrimination in this school finance system to 
be "extensive." 83 A.D.2d at 242. But the most severe 
inequity demonstrated in the record is that:

The subject legislation has a disproportionately 
adverse effect with respect to so important a right as education on the vast majority of the State's 
minority students. Minority children with greater 
needs are receiving not equal, but less aid. . . .

83 A.D.2d at 257 (Weinstein, J., concurring) (citations 
omitted, emphasis in original). The State's method of 
financing public schools inflicts a profoundly dispropor­
tionate share of its inequity on minority children. In doing 
so, it deprives them of the equal protection of the laws 
guaranteed by this State's Constitution.

Finding invidious denial of equal protection below, 
83 A.D.2d at 242, the Appellate Division relied on that por­
tion of N.Y. Const. Art. I § 11 which provides: "No person
shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this 
state . . . ." In addition to this general equal protection 
command, the Article states:



25

No person shall, because of race, color, creed or 
religion, be subjected to any discrimination in his 
civil rights by . . . the state or any agency or 
subdivision of the state.

These fundamental provisions require the State to provide
education to all on an equal basis:

In these days it is doubtful that any child may 
reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he 
is denied the opportunity of an education. Such 
an opportunity, where the state has undertaken 
to provide it, is a right which must be made avail­
able to all on equal terms.

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483, 493 (1954).
If residential patterns mean that most minority

children will continue to attend the cities' schools, then
the State must insure that the same educational opportunities
are available in those schools as elsewhere:

[I]t should be clear that if whites and Negroes, 
or rich and poor, are to be consigned to separate 
schools, pursuant to whatever policy, the minimum 
the Constitution will require and guarantee is 
that for their objectively measurable aspects 
these schools be run on the basis of . . . equality, 
at least until any inequities are adequately 
justified.

Hobson v. Hansen, 269 F. Supp. 401, 496 (D.D.C. 1967), cert. 
dismissed, 393 U.S. 801 (1968), affirmed, 408 F.2d 175, 185 
(D.C. Cir. 1969) (finding federal equal protection violation 
in inequitable pattern of resource allocation to predominantly 
black District of Columbia schools). Accord, Brown v. Board 
of Education of the City of Chicago, 386 F. Supp. 110, 125 
(N.D. 111. 1974) (finding equal protection violation in
eight percent disparity in resources allocated to district's



26

primarily "non-Caucasian" schools); Matter of Skipwith,
14 M .2d 325, 338-47 (Dom. Rel. Ct. N.Y. Co. 1958) (finding 
equal protection violation as result of inequitable staffing 
patterns in predominantly black schools); see also Natonabah 
v. Board of Education, 355 F. Supp. 716 (D.N.M. 1973) (finding 
violation of civil rights statutes in consistent pattern of 
allocation of lesser resources to Native American schools).— / 

Surprisingly few previous school finance cases have 
focused on the problem of racial, as opposed to economic, 
discrimination.— ^ But in the small number of cases squarely 
presenting school finance systems which deprive minority 
children of equal educational opportunities (pp. 25-26, supra), 
the results are uniform. Such systems are unconstitutional.

B. The School Finance System's 
Disparate Impact on Minority 
Children Was Foreseeable and 
Foreseen, and Is Unjustified.

The inequalities discussed above cannot be excused
because they result from a statutory scheme that is neutral

23/ Analogous problems of racially disparate impact can
arise from the operation of non-finance school policies, 
with the same result. School policies, fiscal or other­
wise, which deprive minority children of equal educa­
tional opportunities fail on equal protection grounds. 
See Larry P. v. Riles, 495 F. Supp. 926, 974-86 (N.D. 
Cal. 1979); Lora v. Board of Education, 456 F. Supp. 
1211, 1275-77 (E.D.N.Y. 1978), remanded on procedural grounds, 623 F.2d 248 (2d Cir. 1980).

27

on its face. The school finance implications for this State's 
minority children are well known to State education officials. 
Knowing that the system provides an inadequate and inequit­
able share of funds to the schools where most minority chil­
dren are —  and knowing that the educational needs of those 
children are, if anything, greater than others' —  the State 
has enacted "reforms" with, at best, no appreciable impact 
on the relative level of resources available to city schools. 
The resulting inequity is not justified by any sufficient 
state purpose. Where the State's actions have such a fore­
seeable, and indeed an anticipated racially disparate impact, 
and where —  as here —  the State's remedial efforts have had 
no positive effect on a recognized problem, a violation of
the equal protection clause is shown. See, 83 A.D.2d at 256

25/(Weinstein, J. concurring) (citations omitted).—

25/ The Supreme Court described the elements of proof thata law discriminates in Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan 
Housing Development Corp., 429 U.S. 252 (1979):

[Washington v.] Davis does not require a 
plaintiff to prove that the challenged action 
rested solely on racially discriminatory purposes. Rarely can it be said that a 
legislative or administrative body operating 
under a broad mandate made a decision motivated 
solely by a single concern, or even that a 
particular purpose was the 'dominant' or 'primary' one . . . .

(Continued)



28

This Court recently held that:
Proof of [discriminatory] intent . . . may appear from 
a convincing showing of a grossly disporportionate 
[impact] . . . .  (cf♦ Gomillion v. Lightfoot,
364 U.S. 339; Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356 . . .).
For history teaches that it is by no means to be 
assumed that motive and disproportionality have to 
be discrete. The more convincing is the demonstra­
tion of the 'unequal hand' . . . the stronger will 
be the inference of illicit motive, since conscious 
discrimination may then stand out as the only reason­
able explanation for the pattern of enforcement.

303 W. 42nd Street Corp. v. Klein, 46 N.Y.2d 686, 695 (1979).— ^
In a 1967 position paper, the State Board of Regents

explicitly recognized the problems of municipal overburden

(Continued)
Determining whether invidious discriminatory 
purpose was a motivating factor demands a 
sensitive inquiry into such circumstantial 
and direct evidence of intent as may be available. 
The impact of the official action —  whether it 
'bears more heavily on one race than another, . . . 
—  may provide an important staring point. Some­
times a clear pattern, unexplainable on grounds 
other than race, emerges from the effect of State action even when the governing legislation 
appears neutral on its face . . . .
The historical background of the decision is 
one evidentiary source, particularly if it 
reveals a series of official actions taken for 
invidious purpose . . . .

and racial isolation in city schools.—-/ Citing "all too
abundant" evidence that equal educational opportunities are 
denied children in city schools, the Regents called on the 
Governor and Legislature to respond with "major steps" and a 
$112 million committment for 1968-69. Urban Education supra 
n.27, at 15. The Legislature responded, but not with an urban 
education aid package. Instead, it enacted a law forbidding 
school authorities to assign students or alter school bounda­
ries or attendance zones for purposes of achieving integrated 
schools. L. 1969 c. 342, § 1, N.Y. EDUC. LAW § 3201(2). ^

27 /

27/ Foreshadowing findings made by the courts below, the 
Regents said:

The proportion of non-white population in the 
cities, and especially in the public schools of 
the cities, is increasing. Racial isolation in 
the schools is also increasing. Continuation or 
expansion of this isolation will perpetuate under­
achievement for large portions of the non-white 
population . . . .
*  * *  *

The loss of economic strength of the cities, heavy 
demands for safety, welfare and other city services 
on the tax dollar —  the "municipal over-burden" —  
and restrictions of State legalities constitute a 
debilitating burden on the cities' capacity to fi­
nance necessary educational services.

of Policy and Proposed Action by the New York State Board 
of Regents 5 (1967).

—  Lee v. Nyquist, 318 F. Supp. 710 (E.D.N.Y. 1970), aff'd 

sub nom. Nyquist v. Lee, 402 U.S. 935 (1971).



30

Subsequent legislative responses to inequities in the school 
finance system fell predictably short of improving the cities' 
capacity to cope with their educational burdens. 83 A.D.2d 
at 256 (Weinstein, J., concurring). (A. 6510, IFF. 138-139;
A. 6521-27, IFF. 216-245; A. 6567, IFF. 476)

Such governmental action and inaction with the 
"natural and forseeable effect of maintaining and perpetu­
ating severe racial imbalance” is discriminatory in viola­
tion of the state equal protection clause. See Hart v. 
Community School Board of Education, 383 F. Supp. 699, 721

29/ Of course, even if this court should view federal prece­
dents as circumscribing establishment of a federal equal 
protection violation on the basis of this record of 
grossly disproportionate, racially discriminatory impact, 
those precedents are not binding here. The federal 
constitution as interpreted by the federal courts "defines

449, 464 (1979) ("[A]ctions having foreseeable and anticipated 
disparate impact are relevant evidence to prove the ultimate 
fact, forbidden purpose.")

The inference of invidious purpose to be drawn from 
this foreseeable adverse impact is confirmed by the lack of 
any substantial justification for the inequity which results. 
See U.S. v. Texas Educational Agency, 564 F.2d 162, 168 (5th 
Cir. 1977), cert, denied, 443 U.S. 915 (1979). —  ' As the 
courts below found, this system fails to serve the purposes 
alleged to justify it by denying local control over education 
to many school districts. (A. 6563, IFF. 447; A. 6567, IFF. 
475)

Black children were similarly denied equal protection 
of the laws in Larry P. v. Riles, 495 F. Supp. 926 (N.D. Cal. 
1979), where the state placed children in classes for the 
mentally retarded in severe disproportion to their numbers in 
the school population. The resulting "profound discrimina­

30/ The Fifth Circuit said there:
"When the official actions challenged as discriminatory 
include acts and decisions that do not have a firm 
basis in well accepted and historically sound non-dis- 
criminatory social policy, discriminatory intent may be 
inferred from the fact that those acts had foreseeable 
discriminatory consequences."

Compare Personnel Adm'r of Massachusetts v. Feeney, 442 
U.S. 256, 279 & n.25 (1979).

tory effects," known to the defendants there and condemned by 
the legislature, were "complacent[ly] accept[ed]" by officials 
with responsibility to act. 495 F. Supp. 926, 983. Beyond 
merely acquiescing, those officials continued to "set policy 
as if the legislative findings about testing and dispropor­
tionate enrollment meant nothing," id. at 982, implementing 
new versions of old policies which were known to discrimi­
nate. On those facts, the court charged defendants with 
actual "desire to perpetuate the segregation of minorities in 
inferior, dead end, and stigmatizing classes for the retarded." 
Id. at 983.

Similarly, this record shows: (1) official knowl­
edge of the increasingly pronounced adverse impact of the 
existing system on the State's black and minority children;
2) failure to take corrective action; 3) implementation 
of "reforms" with —  at best —  nugatory effect and 4) the 
absence of a sufficient justification for the discriminatory 
results. This Court must conclude that invidious discrimina­
tory purposes played a role in the maintenance of the school 
finance system.

C. The Disproportionate Racial Impact 
Shown Here Justifies Intermediate 
Equal Protection Scrutiny_________

The disproportionate, adverse racial impact found 
here strongly suggests that invidious purposes infected the



33

school finance scheme. This supplies "a cogent reason
for the application, if not of strict scrutiny, of the
heightened scrutiny test developed in Alevy v. Downstate
Medical Center . . . 83 A.D.2d at 257 (Weinstein, J.,

3 1 /concurring)
Several recent decisions of this court have rejected 

traditional "polarized and outcome-determinative" approaches 
to equal protection analysis in favor of a middle level or 
intermediate standard of review. Alevy v. Downstate Medical 
Center, 39 N.Y. 2d 326, 33 (1976); Matter of Fay, 44 N.Y.2d 
137 (1978), appeal dismissed sub nom. Buck v. Hunter, 439 
U.S. 1059, rehearing denied, 440 U.S. 968 (1978); Matter of 
Lalli, 43 N.Y.2d 65 (1977), aff'd sub nom. Lalli v. Lalli,
439 U.S. 259 (1978). This Court has recognized that where 
legislation affects groups which are historically disadvan­
taged or infringes on important rights something more than

31/ We believe that this education finance system lacks 
even a "rational basis." Simply put, an "equalizing" school finance system which overestimates the fiscal 
capacity of the urban districts where many (84.1%) of 
the State's minority children must learn, and grossly 
underestimates the educational costs of those same districts, directing diminished aid to the very neediest 
children of the State, is not justified by any legitimate state concern. See, Lee v. Smith, 43 N.Y.2d 453 (1977). 
The brief of plaint iff-intervenors, appellees here, shows the failure of this system even under the "tooth­
less" rational basis standard. Accordingly, we do not 
elaborate further on that question.



34

minimal scrutiny is required.— / Alevy, which involved an 
explicit but benign racial classification was such a case.— / 
The courts below took a similar approach here. They held that 
the importance of education in our society, demonstrated by 
the Education Article of our Constitution,— / justifies 
intermediate scrutiny of the school finance scheme. That

32/ In Alevy v. Downstate Medical Center, 39 N.Y.2d 326,
333-34 (19761 this Court cited with approval the "candid" 
assessment of equal protection standards made by at least 
one member of the United States Supreme Court:

'[Tjhis Court has . . . applied a spectrum of 
standards in reviewing discrimination allegedly violative of the Equal Protection Clause. This 
spectrum clearly comprehends variation in the degree 
of care with which the Court will scrutinize particu­
lar classifications depending, I believe, on the 
constitutional and societal importance of the 
interest adversely affected and the recognized invidiousness of the basis on which the particular 
classification is drawn.' San Antonio School 
District v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 1, 98-99 (1972) (Marshall, J ., dissenting)1

33/ Alevy presented an equal protection dilemma because a
racially discriminatory classification was employed there 
for benign purposes —  to promote racial equality in a 
medical school admissions program. Rejecting the strict 
scrutiny test for such "benign" racial discrimination, 39 
N.Y.2d at 335, this Court recognized the important 
historical purpose of the (federal) equal protection clause "to guarantee equality for Blacks, and by logical 
extension . . . all minority groups." _Ic3. at 334.
Because this Court believed racially preferential govern­
ment programs might tend to "perpetuat[e] undesirable 
perceptions of race as criteria affecting State 
action . . .," it also rejected the "toothless" rational basis standard of review as inappropriate on the facts of 
Alevy. I_d. at 335-36.

34/ See 83 A.D.2d at 241.



35

scheme's profoundly adverse impact on minorities also impli­
cates the policy held by this Court in Alevy to require 
heightened scrutiny: the historic goal of the equal protec­
tion clause "to guarantee equality for Blacks . . . "  Alevy, 
supra, 39 N.Y.2d at 334. Cf. U.S. v. Carolene Products Co., 
304 U.S. 1 44, 152-53 & n. 4 (1938).— '/

As noted by the Ninth circuit:
Where a nonsuspect classification . . .  is alleged 
to operate to the detriment of a disadvantaged 
class or classes . . . neither 'strict' nor 'minimal' scrutiny provides useful guidance as a standard 
of review.

Berkelman v. San Francisco Unified School District, 501 F.2d 
1264, 1267 (9th Cir. 1974) (applying intermediate level scru­
tiny to academic achievement tests which disproportionately 
excluded minority students from a preferred school). By 
requiring the State to show some actual relationship to a 
substantial state purpose to sustain legislation with a raci­
ally discriminatory impact courts can provide some protection 
against invidious results. Berkelman, supra; Castro v. 
Beecher, 459 F.2d 725, 732-33 (1st Cir. 1972) (intermediate

35/ A finding that the school finance system was infected 
with discriminatory purposes is not necesary for the application of intermediate scrutiny (pp. 26-32, supra)♦ 
Larry P., supra, 495 F. Supp. at 986, citing Berkelman, 
supra. The fact of the disparate impact of the school 
finance system on the minority children of this state 
is enough to suggest that invidious purpose might have played a role and therefore requires that the decision 
be subject to heightened scrutiny.



36

scrutiny applied to civil service examinations with racially 
disparate impact); Larry P. v. Riles, 495 F. Supp. 926,
985-86 (N.D. Cal. 1979) (applying intermediate scrutiny to 
school tracking system which disproportionately classified 
black children as "educable mentally retarded").

Applying intermediate scrutiny, the Appellate 
Division rejected the State's interest in preserving local 
control as a justification for the wealth discrimination found 
here. Property-poor and urban school districts are deprived 
of control over their education programs by this school 
finance scheme. 83 A.D.2d at 242-43. The State's illusory 
objectives provide no greater justification for the racial 
discrimination which also results.

II
THIS SCHOOL FINANCE SYSTEM DEPRIVES 

MINORITY CHILDREN OF THE OPPORTUNITIES 
GUARANTEED BY THE EDUCATION ARTICLE

The Education Article of this State's Constitution 
provides that:

"The Legislature shall provide for the mainte­
nance and support of a system of free common 
schools, wherein all the children of this State may be educated."

N.Y. Const. Art XI, § 1. In fact, the State now maintains 
and supports a public school system which systematically



37

delivers inadequate educational opportunities to the over­
whelming majority of the State's minority public school 
pupils. (See pp. 8-23, supra.) But if the Education 
Article means anything, it surely requires the State to see 
that "all the children of the State may receive their educa­
tion, whatever may be their race, creed, color or condition." 
Judd v. Board of Education, 278 N.Y. 200, 205, rehearing 
denied, 278 N.Y. 712 (1938) (emphasis in original).

Public education is "the one national resource that 
traditionally has made this country a land of opportunity for 
diverse ethnic and racial groups." Columbus Board of Educa­
tion v. Penick, 443 U.S. 449, 486 (1979) (Powell, J., dissent­
ing). The implications of education for political participa-

o r /  3 7 /tion=—' and effective participation in the labor force^-' are 
also well recognized. 83 A.D.2d at 249. However, under New 
York's system of financing public education, the State's 
ethnic and racial minorities —  traditionally disadvantaged 
in their access to political power —  receive the least 
education of all. The resulting "gross educational under­
achievement," 83 A.D.2d at 233, particularly violates the 
command of the Education Article, because its impact is felt 
along racial lines.

Even when maintenance of racially segregated

38

schools was explicitly allowed, the law forbade discrimina­
tion against black children in the extent of educational 
opportunities provided to them. This requirement for equal 
educational opportunity was reflected in the very law autho­
rizing establishment of segregated schools, which provided 
that local school:

commissioners shall apportion and pay over to the 
trustees of such schools, a portion of the money 
received by them annually, in the same manner now 
provided by law in respect to school districts, al­
lowing to such schools the proper proportion for 
each child over five and under sixteen years. . . .

L. 1841 , c. 20, § 15.
Following adoption of the Constitution’s Education

Article in 1894, this Court addressed the question whether
segregated schools deprived black children of their rights
under that Article, where a school board "made the same
provisions for their education as are made for others, so far
as the nature, extent and character of the education and
facilities for obtaining it are concerned." Cisco v. School
Board, 161 N.Y. 598, 599 (1900). Even though the invalidity
of official segregation was not yet recognized or understood,
the equalizing principle of the Education Article was plain:

[T]he . . . Constitution requires the legislature to 
. . . furnish a system of common schools where each 
and every child may be educated, not that all must 
be educated in any one school, but that it shall 
provide or furnish a school or schools where each 
and all may have the advantages guaranteed by that 
instrument. . . .  It was the facilities for and 
the advantages of an education that it was required 
to furnish to all children. . . .



39

Id. at 601. Even the Cisco court, applying a nineteenth- 
century concept of a natural distinction between the races, 
recognized the rights of black children to a fair distribu­
tion of the State's education resources. But under today's 
school finance system, many minority children are educated in
schools which receive a grossly inequitable share of those

38/resources. — '

The Education Article requires the State to give 
all its children equal educational opportunities. 83 A.D.2d 
at 247-48. This Court accordingly recognized that provisions 
of the Education Law authorizing the Commissioner of Education 
to require school districts to finance transportation of 
geographically isolated school children implement the command 
of the Education Article. People ex rel Board of Education v. 
Graves, 243 N.Y. 204, 209 (1926). The Constitutional duty to 
support and maintain a system of common schools also obliges 
the State to make special provision for delinquent and 
handicapped children, orphans, Native Americans, the deaf, 
and the blind, who cannot benefit from the facilities generally

38/ Compare the facts found by the Appellate Division here, 
83 A.D.2d at 233: "As concerns educational offerings
the city schools . . . have among the highest pupil-
teacher ratios in the State and a severely constricted 
variety of elective courses. Many pupils attend classes 
in buildings . . .  in need of repairs and lacking in 
facilities for counseling, study or recreation. Pupils 
attending schools in the large cities were . . . pro­
vided with less physical security in their schools; less 
transportation; restricted sports and extracurricular 
activity; inadequate library and health services; and 
diminished offerings in art and music . . . "

provided for others, Wiltwyck School for Boys, Inc, v. Hill,
11 N.Y.2d 182, 191-93 (1962)); see also Matter of Levy, 38 
N.Y.2d 653, 657 (1976).

Construing analogous provisions of the New Jersey
constitution, that state's highest court said:

[W]e do not doubt that an equal educational op­
portunity for children was precisely in mind. The 
mandate that there be maintained "a thorough and 
efficient system of free public schools for the 
instruction of all the children in the State be­
tween the ages of five and eighteen years" can have no other import.

Robinson v. Cahill, supra, 62 N.J. 473, 303 A.2d 273, 294 
(1973) The Appellate Division correctly held, 83 A.D.2d at 
247-48) that the Education Article of New York's Constitution 
requires no less for the children of this State.

Recently this court observed that, in the field of 
education: "'there may . . .  be gross violations of defined
public policy which the courts would be obliged to recognize 
and correct.'" Donohue v. Copiague Union Free School District, 
47 N.Y.2d 440, 445 (1979). Here, the evidence overwhelmingly 
showed that New York's black and Hispanic school children are 
consistently deprived of access to the educational advantages 
other New York children enjoy because the Legislature has 
failed to adequately support and maintain the schools where 
they must try to obtain an education. The magnitude and



4 1

extent of the resulting discrimination leave no room for doubt 
that the Education Article is violated here.— ^

CONCLUSION

The State's school finance system is suffused with 
inequity. The quality of education received by New York chil­
dren is largely a function of the place where they reside.
As we have shown, it is also largely a function of minority 
or majority group status. The Constitution of this State 
forbids such discriminations. Accordingly, for all the 
reasons stated above, it is respectfully submitted that the 
judgment of the Appellate Division should be affirmed.

not be matched with an attendance area because of poor address 
information, e.g., no street name, non-existent street number 
or name.)

7. AGE DISTRIBUTION FACTOR - The number of grades in a school divided
by 13(the number of grades in a K-12 grade span).

federally subsidized program in which children in families with 
low income are entitled to a free lunch at school. (Number ex­

The statistics set forth in Table I pertain to elemen­
tary, intermediate, and junior high school children. Percentages of low income children were obtained by a 
weighted formula combining numbers of free lunch eligible 
students with numbers of students receiving AFDC benefits (with figures adjusted to compensate for age distribution 
and children whose addresses could not be matched with 
school attendance zones) as a proportion of school 
enrollments (exclusive of pre-kindergarten and special education students). App. B at B-2.

English course, and the seminar that went with my student 
teaching.

Q What kind of seminar was that?
A During student teaching we met once a week, 

all of the student teachers met with an adviser who talked 
about our problems and observed us in classes.

Q You testified that you had been at Hughes since 
you started teaching. Can you tell us the location of 
Hughes? Is it Charles Evans Hughes High School?

A That is right, 351 West 18th Street, New York
City.

Q It is 18th Street and where, approximately?
A Between Eighth and Ninth.
Q Can you tell us how many children at Hughes are 

receiving free lunch?
A Almost all of them.
Q Is Hughes a Title I designated school?
A Yes.
Q What is the ethnic composition of Hughes?
A Approximately 60 percent black, 30 percent 

Hispanic, and the rest made up of Orientals and Greeks 
and others, with a few white thrown in.

Q You mean when you say Greek do you mean newly

have assignments on days when there are no classes and 
that sort of thing.

I also handle ordering of extra materials for the 
reading labs, and I do testing referrals from the guidance 
department.

Q Was it your testimony that you also teach in 
the reading labs?

A That's right, I have three classes.
Q In your opinion as coordinator were you able to

provide services for all of the children who could have 
benefited from the program this year?

A In the school?
Q In the school.
A No, There are approximately 2,000 students in

the school, and I would estimate a good half of them 
need remedial help at one level or another, and as I 
said, we were accommodating 750 of them in this past 
semester.

Q Would you think that all of the students who 
are two years or more below need remedial assistance?

A Yes.
Q Would it be your view that students who were 

below grade would need remedial assistance if they were

O ’Donnell - for pltff-intervenors - direct 8284



D-3

O'Donnell - for pltff-intervenors - direct 8285 

one year below?
A It would be a nice luxury. To tell you the truth, 

I haven't even thought about it. At one point about two 
years ago we had a program where students reading above 
eighth grade level were allowed to stay in the labs. We 
haven't had the room so we haven't been doing that this 
past year.

Q Does that mean that when a student is reading 
at eighth grade level he is no longer eligible for the 
lab?

A That's right.
Q Would that be true even if the student were at 

the eleventh grade and three years behind?
A Usually a student leaves after achieving the 

eighth grade reading level. We do have a small number, 
out of the 750, I would say about 25, who are in the labs 
beyond the eighth grade level because they are in twelfth 
grade, for instance, and still three years below grade 
level which would put them at ninth grade level.

Q What in your opinion would be you: ability to 
provide services for the students that in your judgment 
need it next year?

A Our ability will be severely lessened. The



J J - 4:

O'Donnell - for pltff-intervenors - cross 8370

the kids to read the passages, answer those questions, 
learn those skills, and then recombine them into the 
reading process.

Q If you had no tests at the end of your reading 
lab, no objective tests with the underlining and the 
crossing and the choosing right and wrong answer as to 
what the main idea was, would you arrange your curriculum 
differently?

A Yes, there would be less emphasis on the skill 
of answering short-answer tests.

MRS. JUVILER: I have no further questions.
Thank you very much.

MISS SCHNEIDER: No questions, your Honor.
BY THE COURT:

Q Out of that 750 students that you told me were in 
the language lab of your school —  is that approximately 
correct?

A Yes, about.
Q —  what proportion of those 750 students had 

come up through the lower grades as compared to kids that 
came into high school perhaps from other places and 
things like that? Are they mostly —

A I would say the majority of the black kids, and



D—5 i

O'Donnell - for pltff-intervenors 8371

that is the majority of the kids in the school, are 
native New Yorkers. A good number of the Hispanic kids 
are not, and speak another language at home.

Q That is another problem, but with the ones that 
you just talked about, the black children who were native 
New Yorkers, then would the inference be that this has 
been a reading problem that has persisted through grades 
1 through 8 when you get them in the ninth grade?

A I would say that somewhere along the line some­
thing broke down, whether it was a truancy pattern or 
whatever, but yes. They are native New Yorkers, most of 
them, and that is what happens.

Q The other thing I wanted to ask you is that on 
these various tests that you spoke about, I think you 
mentioned a Stamford Test, the Iowa Silent Reading Test, 
and we have had several references to the Metropolitan 
Achievement Test, and I think you also mentioned one you 
referred to as an old California Achievement Test, are 
these tests all tests which take into account the 
comparatively low socio-economic level of the students with 
whom you are dealing in your reading laboratories at 
Charles Evans Hughes High School?

A No, all of these tests are national norms which



D-6

Wilner - for pltfs - direct 8930

As grades go, the black number in grade nine, 
there are approximately 28 percent; grade ten, 27 percent —  

of the total enrollment that is. In grade 11, 22 percent; 
in grade 12, 29 percent.

Q And "others"?
A For "others", the percentage goes from 56

percent in grade nine,to 58 percent in grade ten, 65 percent 
in grade 11, and 70 percent in grade 12.

Q And Puerto Rican?
A Puerto Rican, 8*7 percent —  I use the fraction

because it's a very substantial fraction. It's almost 
nine percent in grade nine and ten. In grade 11, six and 
a half percent; grade 12, five percent.

Other Spanish -- that As, Hispanic other than 
Puerto Rican, there are almost four percent, in grade nine, 

j three and a half percent in grade ten, three percent in
i

grade 11, and two plus percent in grade 12.
j Q And I believe you refer to the category
i ;

"Oriental".
A  Yes. Orientals, just short of two percent j 

in grade nine, two percent in grade ten, two and a fraction 
percent in grades 11 and 12. tc i _ cr.e- r .
c■-■ • _ So that as I understand your figures, the



Wilner - for pltfs - direct 8931

portions in the high school as they move through the 
grades of ’'others'1, presumably mostly Caucasian, are 56 
percent in grade nine, ranging up to 70 percent in grade 12?

A That’s correct.
Q And for black, 28 percent in grade nine, 

ranging down to 19 percent in grade 12?
A That is correct.
Q Other Hispanic, four in grade nine, ranging 

down to two plus in 12th grade?
A That is right.
Q And Oriental, approximately two, going up to 

two plus in 12th grade?
A Yes. i
Q To what do you attribute these differences?
A Most substantially, the difference in percent­

ages, the different ethnic groups, is explainable by the 
heavy dropout in the black and Puerto Rican groups. If 
you look at the figures, you see that the figure is a 
declining one percentage considered from grade nine through 
grade 12 for black and Puerto Rican. It is a less sub­
stantial declining one for Hispanics other than Puerto 
Rican. It is an increasing percentage for the others in 
our population, and approximately even for Orientals.



Wilner - for pltfs - direct 8932

The most substantial dropoff is in the black proportion, 
which, of course, also indicates that the number is 
decreased most substantially on that side, therefore, the 
percentage of others will tend to go up.

Q Turning to the number of children on free 
lunch in the High School Division, do you have information 
on the percentages within the schools in the High School 
Division of the number of children on free lunch?

A Well, the figures that we maintain will run 
from —  in schools by ranges. For example, there are 27 
high schools with less than 20 percent of their enrollment 
eligible for free lunch; there are 12 high schools with 
20 to 39 percent of their enrollment eligible for free 
lunch; 16 high schools with 40 to 59 percent of their 
enrollment eligible for free lunch, and three high schools - 

THE COURT: What was that last one?
THE WITNESS: Excuse me. Forty to 59 percent.

That would be 16 by schools.
* There would be three high schools where 60 

to 79 percent of the enrollment is eligible for 
free lunch, and two high schools over 80 percent 
of the enrollment is eligible for free lunch.
Q Twenty-seven, twelve, sixteen, three and two?

jj, MS. SCHNEIDER: Perhaps this would be the

evidence the document entitled "Racial-Ethnic 
Distribution of Public School Students and 
Staff in New York State, 1974-75*" published 
by the State Education Department.

THE COURT: Have you seen this, Miss Fink?
MISS FINK: I have no objection.
THE COURT: It may be marked.
(Received In evidence and marked Plaintiffs- 

Intervenor*s Exhibit 147.)
A Changes in the ethnic composition of the schools 

have been very great, even greater than the ethnic changes 
that have taken place in the population of the city as a 
whole. For example, when the first ethnic census wa3 
taken In 1957, approximately 18 percent of the total 
population of the school was black. Approximately 14 
percent of the total population of the city was Hispanic -- 
I am sorry, of the schools, not of the city. It was 
approximately 18 percent of the population of the schools 

If. of New York City, public schools, was black, and 14 
|| percent was Hispanic and 68 percent fell into the

'  .  . -V t

indicates that in 197^ 36 percent of the school popula­
tion of New York City, public school population, was 
black; 28 percent was Hispanic; and 36 percent fell into 
the category of others, which would Include not only 
Caucasians but also American Indians and Orientals.
That would mean, then, that Is the first time in 197^ 
that the black population had outstripped all other 
ethnic categories as used by the state.

During the same period of time, between 1950 
and 1970, there were tremendous changes taking place not 
only in the nature of the population but also in the way 
which the population was distributed. When I was a young 
man living in Brooklyn, there were isolated pockets of 
minority group population living at various points, some 
in the area of Lavonia Avenue, some in the area of Park 
Avenue In the southern section of Bedford Stuyvesant and 
Ocean Hill and various spots in Brooklyn, but they tended 
to be enclaves in a large white population.

As one views the school population in New York
City, one finds a hugh almost continuous belt of minority 
group population in Brooklyn extending from the last River

on the west, going eastward in a hugh arc across Bedford 
Stuyvesant and up to the Queens border. Then with small 
breaks of white population, there continues that curve 
into Queens going southward, so that a good part of 
southern Queens now is composed of children who attend 
public schools and who are of minority group status. As 
a matter of fact, again referring to the state document 
that was introduced in evidence, I point out that in 1974, 
which is the latest year for which we have statistics, 
there were six districts —

MISS PINK: I would like to know the pages
of the document that you are referring to.

THE WITNESS: If I may have a copy of it --
THE COURT: I will give it to you.
MISS FINK: If you could refer me to

specific pages, it would help me.
THE WITNESS: Yes. Beginning on page 21

with the word "Manhattan" and underneath 
Manhattan, "district 1," that goes on to give

county totals.

* II Office of Civil Rights, U.S. Dep't of Education, 
Directory of Elementary and Secondary School Districts,
955 (1979) (hereinafter "OCR Directory"). The Office 
of Civil Rights asked school districts responding to its 
survey to define "educable mentally retarded" children as 
having "a condition of mental retardation which includes 
pupils who are educable in the academic, social and 
occupational areas even though moderate supervision may be 
necessary." The "trainable mentally retarded" category 
includes "pupils who are capable of only very limited 
meaningful achievement in the traditional basic academic 
skills but who are capable of profiting from programs of 
training in self-care and simple job or vocational skills." 
"Seriously emotionally disturbed" children include those 
exhibiting one or more of several specified learning 
disabilities or behavioral problems, including schizo­
phrenia and autism, "over a long period of time and to a 
marked degree." "Speech impaired" children include those 
suffering from communications disorders adversely affecting 
educational performance. OCR Directory, Appendix, Form 
OS/CR-102 ("General Instructions and Definitions"). The 
"socially maladjusted" group includes those "determined 
to have unusual difficulty or unacceptable behavior in 
interpersonal relationships to an extent so as to require 
special services." OCR Directory, Appendix, Form OS/CR-102, 
("Individual School Report").
