My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

It seems to me that in bringing schools up to a standard you don't need to target black schools specifically. Most of the bad ones are in the black neighborhoods due to the history of racism. Where it might get tricky is if you have limited funds per year and have to use a phased approach. Then you target the worst schools first. Again, most of the time because of the racism and discrimination that has driven the problematic, hat will also be in a black neighborhood. But supposing for some odd reason your very worst school gad a mostly white population. Then I think you need to put at least 1 or 2 of the poorer black schools ahead of it. One in deference to how much has been taken from them over the years (my kids and the sandwich analogy) and 2 because sometimes funding dried up and, again, the point is to create balance in the population wrt education with an eye to eliminating disparities that can be clearly discerned simply by looking at race
As you've pointed out years of racist acts and policies have resulted in blacks being statistically grouped in certain measurements. It stands to reason then that you can aim policies at those statistical measures, helping everyone who is in that area without having to resort to race-based criteria.

See, this is where I lean on the problem. There are likely many race-neutral programs that can be created to deal with the situation. If we have two people/groups in largely equal present situations, we should not be deciding which one gets help based on skin color.

Another defeat for this racist policy.
Federal judge grants preliminary injunction to stop the program's enforcement
Scott Wynn is a lifelong farmer who has run Wynn Farms in Jennings, Florida, producing sweet potatoes, corn, and cattle since 2006. COVID-19, however, hit the family’s finances hard. Steep drops in beef prices and too little help and supplies to grow sweet potatoes meant less income, nearly all of which went toward federal farm loan repayment. A farm loan forgiveness provision is baked into the COVID-19-driven American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, but Scott is not eligible—because he is white. The law allows loan forgiveness of up to 120 percent but only for minority farmers and ranchers, who the law automatically treats as “socially disadvantaged,” regardless of their individual circumstances. Because government cannot use racial classifications to decide who gets government benefits and burdens, Scott is fighting back to restore his right to equal treatment for all farmers.
