On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in the landmark Brown v. Board decision that school segregation was unconstitutional. Yet 70 years later, schools in major US cities remain more segregated than neighborhoods, and many students attend classes filled mostly with students who look like them. Urban’s #education research not only offers insights into this enduring problem in America, but promising solutions, too, including: • Evidence-based strategies school districts could adopt to reduce segregation and advance #equity • Strategies school officials and #housing developers could take to foster more integrated schools Find out more in this data story from Urban https://urbn.is/3UwYmZc.

The Potential for Land Use and Housing Reform to Address School Segregation and Educational Opportunity - PDF: https://lnkd.in/eCFRUXmA Housing, land use, and zoning policies are often siloed in such a way that they are considered and addressed separately from school segregation and students’ opportunities to learn. But these policy areas can interact in powerful ways. The wealth required to purchase homes in neighborhoods created by discriminatory land use planning and zoning regulations is intricately connected to an array of public goods, including schools. Neighborhood-based school assignment creates a direct link between segregated housing and segregated schools. More positively, zoning initiatives in recent years have proliferated to roll back the use of land for exclusionary purposes (e.g., a community only allowing single-family homes on large lots)—with important implications for schools. Less segregated schools are linked to greater social and economic mobility for historically marginalized students, which is reason enough to consider education when reforming housing policy. Moreover, an important goal of public education is to prepare all young people, no matter what their background, for active, equitable engagement in the pressing matters of the day. Such goals are advanced when students interact on equitable terms across lines of difference in racially and economically diverse, well-resourced schools. This policy brief attempts to break down the siloes separating land use and zoning policies from school segregation discussions and interventions. Drawing on multiple bodies of literature, it explores what we know about the potential of housing and land use policy reform to address school segregation—and why doing so matters. The research reviewed here illuminates the close historical and legal relationship between school and housing segregation and the clear links between land use policy and school and housing segregation. Studies also show that where land use or housing reforms have enabled greater access to less segregated schools, historically marginalized students’ outcomes have improved. Although the reforms and, by extension, the research, are somewhat limited, it suggests that land use and housing policy has the potential to more broadly reduce school segregation and improve student outcomes. #housing #segregation #segregatedneighborhoods #exclusionaryzoning #zoning #schools #racism #Brown #civilrights #freedom #liberty

Are we doing enough to support our educators and strengthen our community? With ongoing teacher vacancies in DeSoto County, the proposed affordable workforce housing initiative is a step in the right direction. This nearly $13 million development could provide vital housing for district staff, making it easier for educators to live and work in the communities they serve. In a time when many teachers are commuting from outside the area, fostering local residency can enhance school stability and student success. The plan prioritizes teachers by offering them first rights to rental units, addressing both their housing needs and the area’s educational challenges. However, community concerns about infrastructure and allocation of resources also deserve attention. Balancing workforce housing with other community developments will be essential for ensuring a cohesive growth strategy. As real estate professionals, we have the opportunity to advocate for initiatives like this that benefit the community while also addressing the housing crisis. Let’s engage in these conversations and work together towards sustainable solutions that uplift everyone in our neighborhoods. #AffordableHousing #SupportEducators #CommunityDevelopment #FloridaRealEstate #WorkforceHousing #RealEstateAdvocacy

Did you know? The quality of local schools is one of the top factors affecting property values in any neighborhood.

Higher Home Values: Homes in top school districts often command higher prices and attract more interest, making them easier to sell in the future. 2. Educational Opportunities: Access to quality education is invaluable, and living in a good school district means better schooling options for your children. 3. Community Engagement: Vibrant school districts often foster community spirit and engagement, enhancing your living experience.
