News organizations are examining the issue statewide and in individual cities and towns

New Jersey is the most diverse state in the nation, but New Jersey schools are also among America's most segregated. It's a reality at the heart of a closely-watched lawsuit filed by the Latino Action Network and other groups seeking to compel the state to take action and better integrate the state's classrooms. That lawsuit is coming to a head with a decision expected soon.
