S.F. school assignments made by 'diversity index'

SAN FRANCISCO -- Parents are waiting anxiously by their mailboxes this week to learn
where their children will go to school under the city's latest experiment in desegregation, which
uses a complex formula based not on race but on a series of socieoeconomic factors.

For the first time, school district officials are using a "diversity index" that doesn't directly
include race or ethnicity to decide who will attend the coveted schools and who gets assigned to
more troubled campuses.

Parents had to submit their applications to the school district by Feb. 1. Letters notifying them
which campuses their children have been accepted at are just now being sent out.
