Student Assignment and Enrollment Policies That Advance School Integration: A National Perspective to Support Planning in the District of Columbia
Potter, Halley
Century Foundation
The Washington, D.C. metro area schools are the fifty-third most segregated in terms of students' economic status and twenty-third most segregated in terms of Black-White separation. This segregation in the District of Columbia's schools undergirds systemic racism, creates social strife, and leaves children unprepared for an increasingly interconnected and multicultural world. The process currently being undertaken by the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education to analyze student assignment policies and create a facilities master plan for District of Columbia schools poses the opportunity to create new pathways for more students to learn in integrated classrooms alongside peers from different backgrounds. As background information to inform and inspire that planning, this report draws together examples from around the country that illustrate different strategies and considerations for creating student assignment and enrollment policies that promote integration.
