[quote=Anonymous]School integration matters a lot to me, but I see it as a community and individual priority, and not necessarily the responsibility of DCPS. Of course neighborhoods factor into a school makeup, and schools are going to look different by ward. But, there are a lot of schools that aren’t reflective of their neighborhood makeup, and that’s usually because UMC families opt out of their IB school and into something else. There are schools with poor leadership resulting in teacher turnover, and other challenges, and those issues should be addressed by DCPS. There are also many instances of schools not being as integrated as they could be because people opt out due to perceptions, bias, because that’s what everyone else they knows does, etc—and that’s where I think efforts to support more integrated schools can be effective.
