Session Type: Symposium
Recent research into school choice documents what occurs when white advantaged families choose urban schools. School choice policies are not designed or equipped to counteract the self-segregating choices of parents and the influence of larger political-economic forces in neighborhood development. Our panel contributes to this growing body of literature by investigating the effects of a wide range of contributors (parental school preferences, development, federal education policy, and school district policies) on the segregation of school spaces and areas of promise for potential desegregation in the New York Metropolitan Area. It contributes to the literature by finding underexplored areas on school choice policy and highlighting areas of promise and peril within our increasingly diverse society, schools, and neighborhoods.
