Columbus Schools' 1979 desegregation
In 1979, the Columbus Board of Education began court-ordered busing to address de facto segregation in public schools, following a legal challenge that highlighted ongoing racial disparities. Approximately 35,000 students were transported on 380 buses as part of the plan, which aimed to achieve racial balance after courts found the district had failed to dismantle segregated systems rooted in housing policies. The busing initiative was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, marking a significant step in enforcing desegregation efforts in Columbus schools.
