Page 9 of the Gray Commission Report outlines the proposed process for student assignments, emphasizing that decisions should be based on factors such as school facilities, student welfare, and transportation availability, while ensuring that no child is forced to attend an integrated school. It establishes a formal appeal process for parents who object to school assignments, allowing for hearings at the local level and further appeals to higher courts. Additionally, the report recommends clarifying school transportation policies, reinforcing local control over teacher assignments, and permitting localities to raise and allocate funds for education, including transportation costs, while maintaining the option for funding alternatives in areas without public schools.
