How Will a Supreme Court Decision Affect Housing Prices in Tampa?

A recent Supreme Court decision may have a huge impact on Public School Districts across the country! The recent 5 4 decision rejected public-school assignment plans which take race into account, essentially eliminating any forced diversity. Will this end busing in Public Schools?

This will no doubt have a trickle down effect on the housing Schoolbusindustry and a home search in Tampa. Allowing students to remain in their own neighboorhoods will have an impact on school test scores, the percentage of students who attend college, and other statistics that parents generally review, when deciding to purchase a home in a specific school district. Schools that receive higher scores, as a result of the change in student population, will become more desirable and housing prices in those neighborhoods would be expected to increase. Conversely, lower scores and therefore, lower grades (Florida schools are rated A-F, on a variety of criteria) will negatively impact the desirability of the school and the neighborhoods assigned to that school.

After years of forced busing, this a landmark decision by the Supreme Court!

    It’s a pretty interesting issue. I don’t think that the government should be assigning schools based on race, but at the same time I don’t think “forced” diversity makes any sense either. I can definitely see how there will be a trickle down effect. It will be something to keep an eye on.
