This playlist looks at integration and segregation from every aspect of the school experience. From school lunch, to pre-k, to PTA, and more. These episodes help us see the wider, insidious impact of segregation, and they help us see what we can do to bring about meaningful integration in every aspect of the school experience.
We are excited to announce the next stage in our organizational evolution. We are forming a board of directors and we are looking for volunteers to help shape this next chapter of Integrated Schools.
When she and her husband decided to send their eldest daughter to the Title 1 school in their predominantly Spanish-speaking immigrant neighborhood of north Sunnyvale, Allison Joe never imagined she might one day run for school board. In this piece, she reflects on how Integrated Schools has guided her along the way, helping her “to articulate and lean into what I already knew was the right thing to do and way to be in our community.”
For many years, Integrated Schools has galvanized around the idea of “building a constituency for brave policy.” But how do we decide what to advocate for? How do we know where to look for answers? In this post, we are sharing a framework for advocacy as well as introducing a new partner in this work who is helping us frame these conversations as we continue to grow our movement.
We are announcing the creation of the Integrated Schools Network. In truth, it’s not as much a new creation as much as a formalization of what has already existed–we are a network of folks who are working to align our antiracist values with our actions and behaviors. Our vision for our network is that it is composed of people who have chosen to affiliate themselves with, and publicly identify themselves as a part of, Integrated Schools. That includes people who have already done this, and new folks we have yet to meet!
