Summary

Public School Civil Rights Act of 1981 - Eliminates inferior Federal court jurisdiction to issue any order requiring the assignment or transportation of students to public schools on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Permits individuals and school boards to seek relief from court orders made prior to this Act unless the court makes certain findings, including that the acts giving rise to the order intentionally and specifically caused the segregation; that no other remedy would work; and that the benefits of the order outweigh its economic, social, and educational costs.
