This article compares the contribution of school district boundaries to school and residential segregation in the Southern counties that experienced secession since 2000. Merging together several data sets, including Common Core of Data, census data, and shapefiles at multiple geographic scales, we measure segregation of public school students and the entire population over time. We show that school district secession is restructuring school segregation in the counties where secession is occurring, with segregation increasingly occurring because students attend different school districts. Additionally, in the most recent year of analysis, residents were increasingly stratified by race in different school districts. Segregation patterns differ substantially, however, depending on the history of secession in the county.  \nKeywords: race, school districts, secession, residential segregation, school segregation, South  \nSchool district secession—a political process forming small, new school systems that tend to serve a higher-proportion White and more affluent residential population than the large districts from which they splinter—has received growing attention in media, legal, and policy circles (Brown, 2016; Eaton, 2014; EdBuild, 2019a; Hannah-Jones, 2017; Spencer, 2014; Wilson, 2016) . Although district secessions occur around the country, they are concentrated in the South.1 Recent Southern secessions reflect a narrowing conception of what is “public” about public education as newly created districts seek to preserve relative racial and economic advantages for more homogeneous White areas (Siegel-Hawley, Diem, & Frankenberg, 2018) . Often couched in the raceneutral rationale of “local control”—language long used by White families to resist school desegregation—Southern secessions raise particular concerns about educational inequity, occurring as they do against the region’s historical backdrop of de jure segregation and subsequent resistance to the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Research has documented the resegregation of students in the South  \n(Boger & Orfield, 2005; Reardon, Grewal, Kalogrides, & Greenberg, 2012), a trend that follows a post-Brown period when Southern schools became the most integrated (Frankenberg, Lee, & Orfield, 2003). In a region undergoing rapid demographic change, is contemporary school district secession poised to become yet another tactic in the South’s“sordid history” of White efforts to thwart equal educational opportunity (Wilson, 2016)? The following study is the first to systematically explore whether and to what extent new school district boundaries increasingly segregate students and residents in the South.  \nFragmented school districts have been a phenomenon primarily associated with the Northeast and Midwest (Bischoff, 2008), but district secession in Southern countywide systems is upending, to some degree, the one-county, oneschool-system archetype in parts of the South. The end of court-ordered school desegregation has meant that schools in the metropolitan South, once more integrated than neighborhoods, have lost that distinction (Reardon et al., 2012; Reardon & Yun, 2005) . Thus, the erosion of the South’s  \nCreative Commons Non Commercia","cbCaipU3igYAkwSK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipU3igYAkwSK","pdf",698781,16,"English","# Article Overview\n## Background and Motivation\n## Research Question and Approach\n## Data and Measurement Strategy\n## Findings and Implications","[{\"question\":\"What does the article examine about Southern school district secession?\",\"answer\":\"It analyzes whether new school district boundaries increasingly segregate students and residents in Southern counties that experienced secession since 2000.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study measure segregation?\",\"answer\":\"It merges datasets such as Common Core of Data, census data, and shapefiles at multiple geographic scales to assess segregation over time for both school students and the overall population.\"},{\"question\":\"What key effect does the article find from district secession?\",\"answer\":\"School district secession restructures school segregation, with segregation growing as students attend different school districts, and residents becoming more racially stratified across districts in the latest analysis year.\"}]","Racial Segregation in the Southern Schools, School Districts, and Counties Where Districts Have Seceded | PDF",1792068378]
