"Inter-District School Transfers and the Role of Educators in Black Students' Sense of School Belonging"
Anna Rhodes; Bethany Lewis; Joseph Quinn
Urban Education, v59 n3 p755-783 2024
Inter-district racial and socioeconomic segregation continue to affect students' educational opportunities. Housing mobility programs provide a way for low-income families to access lower-poverty and higher-performing schools in nearby districts. However, changing schools is also disruptive for students. Through interviews with 67 low-income Black youth who moved from Baltimore city into the suburbs with a mobility program, we examine how students' interactions with educators shaped their school transition. Educators who provided academic and interpersonal support helped mitigate disruption by promoting students' sense of school belonging. Yet, we find significant heterogeneity in the support students received as they entered new schools.
