<P> Swann v. Charlotte - Mecklenburg Board of Education , 402 U.S. 1 ( 1971 ) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case dealing with the busing of students to promote integration in public schools . The Court held that busing was an appropriate remedy for the problem of racial imbalance in schools , even when the imbalance resulted from the selection of students based on geographic proximity to the school rather than from deliberate assignment based on race . This was done to ensure the schools would be `` properly '' integrated and that all students would receive equal educational opportunities regardless of their race . </P>
