but they are still busing children in order to achieve a better balance in socio-economic and racial integration. Now they bus by micro-neighborhoods (more than 450 of them), rather than by individual children.

The end result though is far more balanced than in the pre-busing era.

And, unlike in the years when Kamala went to school, the resources across the district have been evenly divided.
