Educational Redlining in New York
A new report from Available to All shows the need to offer more school options to NY families
This week, Tim DeRoche from Available to All released an important report that should spark a conversation about which schools are offered to which families in NY.
The report shows that some school zones map directly to the old redlining maps. This has created a situation in which schools very close to each other have completely different demographics and outcomes for kids.
I wrote about the report and how we should address this problem by expanding the schools we know are delivering for kids in NY and offering school choice to all families.
