- Title
FROM INTEGRATING STUDENTS TO REDISTRIBUTING DOLLARS: The Eclipse of School Desegregation by School Finance Equalization in 1970s California.

- Abstract
The article discusses the connection between the use of school busing to promote school desegregation in California and the development of public school finance reform and litigation in the 1970s. The author argues that school finance reform was brought about by opposition to desegregation busing as well as public anger over an increase in property tax values. Focus is given to the California Supreme Court's decision in the case Serrano v. Priest, which dealt with the racially discriminatory nature of per pupil expenditures in school districts that featured differing property values.
