That's a little before my time, so I honestly don't know how to answer because I don't know how it worked (i.e. did random kids from all areas of the SD get bussed to another school, or was it more of a "merger" type situation).
Interesting that you should ask that, because the SD where I live now only relatively recently was released from court control. It was created by merging 3 predominantly black and 4 predominantly white districts. The order was lifted because it's been determined (legally, that is) that the district is fully desegregated. This is a very very very simplified explanation.
I guess what I'm trying to say is a merger is one thing, cherrypicking individual kids out of their home schools is another.
