Listen in! Supreme Court diversity arguments

BoardBuzz kept close tabs on the oral arguments in two Supreme Court cases argued today, some of the highest profile cases this term. They're the ones we discussed here. NSBA and a host of other public education advocates submitted an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to allow school boards to consider racial diversity as one factor in assigning students to elementary and secondary schools.

We'll have more to say on this, but for now, here is NSBA's press release on the cases, and links to C-SPAN coverage of statements made to the press on the steps of the Court after the arguments are here for Seattle and here for Jefferson County (Louisville). The Seattle one includes remarks by NSBA General Counsel Francisco Negron.
