Abstract | This article focuses on the research-practice partnership between Syracuse City School District (SCSD) and Syracuse University (SU) and the work to conduct an equity audit. Syracuse, the city at the center of this collaborative equity audit, is one of the most hyper-segregated cities in the nation, with one of the highest concentrations of African-American and Latinx poverty. An equity audit is a systematic examination across the practices of the school or organization to understand how educational equity is playing out. This audit focused on the opportunity to access advanced academics, performing arts and athletics. As such, we sought to address the following research questions: Who is taking advanced academic classes and where does participation match proportional representation and where does it not? Who is participating in Performing Arts and where does participation match proportional representation and where does it not? Who is participating in Athletics and where does participation match proportional representation and where does it not? The identification of disproportionality in educational settings has focused on two indices: descriptive statistics and the composition index. The article presents the findings from the first year of the audit--which found disparity in participation across many demographic groups--and initial actions SCSD has taken as a result. Our team came to believe that part of the power of this research/practice partnership was that together we were focused on a tangible product--collecting and analyzing data for this equity audit.
