In 2007, when the U.S. Supreme Court struck down racial integration plans in Louisville and Seattle, many feared that school integration was dead. But today, more than 80 school districts educating some 4 million students have adopted programs to promote socioeconomic diversity in education. Advocates suggest this approach provides a legally viable way to achieve integrated schooling and, importantly, a powerful way to promote equal opportunity and improved outcomes for students. What are the benefits and costs of these programs to break up concentrations of poverty through public school choice? How logistically feasible is socioeconomic integration? Can it be made politically viable?
Come hear a panel of experts talk about the cutting-edge research findings in the new publication from The Century Foundation The Future of School Integration: Socioeconomic Diversity as an Education Reform Strategy, edited by Richard D. Kahlenberg.
