Description
The arbitrary boundaries of many United States school districts incentivize socioeconomic segregation throughout much of the country. This points to a fundamental inequity at the base of the education system that disadvantages underserved communities. EdBuild is a new non-profit dedicated to reforming the school funding system such that public schools can innovate and better serve their communities, promoting equity for all students. With Corporation support, EdBuild proposes to plan and conduct a research project around school district borders. Through network analysis and advanced analytics, EdBuild will identify the top 50 most segregating school district boundaries and write a comprehensive report that delves into the history and policies that have enabled segregation, and proposes innovative solutions.
