Segregation in Steel Valley: How these Pittsburgh-area elementary students are separated by race and academic performance

“The Steel Valley School District has an overall enrollment that is 38 percent black, 6 percent multiracial and 54 percent white, but its elementary students specifically are divided along racial and socioeconomic lines. So it seems a nearly 50-year-old district decision not to bus students between the Steel Valley boroughs of Homestead and Munhall — along with community differences — is trumping the spirit of the 63-year-old Brown v. Board of Education ruling, which deemed the separation of black and white students unconstitutional.”
