Diversity, Desegregation and Why Affluent Brooklyn Parents Should Embrace Their School’s Rezoning

Research & Scholarship: Non-textual formWeb publication/site

Abstract

ery few policy changes cause more of an uproar among American parents than when they perceive that their children are being stripped of educational advantages.
A recent example of this is the New York City Department of Education’s (DOE) decision to shift school boundary lines in an attempt to relieve overcrowding in one of Brooklyn’s majority white higher-income schools, P.S. 8, in community school district 13 (CSD 13).  The proposed rezoning plan would move some students from P.S. 8’s zone to P.S. 307—a school serving predominantly low-income, Black and Latino students.
