Preferred term

unitary status  

Definition

  • Unitary status is a legal status of a school district, indicating that the district—formerly under a court-mandated desegregation order—has achieved, to the extent practicable, the court's requirements regarding desegregation. Once districts believe the mandates of their individual court desegregation orders have been met, they can apply for unitary status.
