Abstract | Given the rich diversity of the city, the Dallas, Texas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) is taking its own unique approach to school integration by designing an innovative school choice pilot. This new program consists of a small number of new or transformed schools designed to enroll students from different backgrounds and attract more middle-class families back to the district. In 2014, Dallas ISD developed a new incubator called the Office of Transformation and Innovation (OTI), which focuses on, among other pilot projects, expanding choice options in the district. Mike Koprowski, the district's chief of transformation and innovation was concerned by the re-segregation of Dallas schools and made school integration a priority for OTI. After collecting survey data, Koprowski and his team began piloting a variety of new ideas, but two of them--the creation of "choice schools" as well as the development of better measures for student disadvantage--address educational equity head-on. This report describes both pilots and their impact on integration and student outcomes. [For the full report, "Stories of School Integration," see ED623187.] (ERIC). |
