Chenoweth, Karin; Theokas, Christina – Educational Leadership, 2013
It's undeniable that too many schools with high percentages of low-income students and students of color are low-achieving.

Higher education institutions are charged with creating one million more STEM professionals over the next decade, a 34% increase in undergraduate STEM degrees annually (PCAST 2012).

As school closures are increasingly used as a remedy to budget woes and a solution to failing schools in many cities, debates are intensifying about their effect on student performance and well-being, on district finances, and on communities and the processes districts use to choose which schools will be shuttered. Student and parent groups in…
