Abstract
This study compares the desegregation effectiveness of voluntary plans with magnet schools to mandatory reassignment plans with magnet schools in a sample of 20 school districts. The analysis suggests that a magnet school plan based primarily on voluntary transfers will produce greater long-term interracial exposure than a mandatory reassignment plan with magnet components. This is probably due to the greater white flight from the mandatory plans. Thus adding magnet schools to a mandatory reassignment plan does not make it competitive with a voluntary plan.
