Event: Separate and Unequal: How School Investment and Integration Matter
Channel: Learning Policy Institute
Date: 2019-11-21

The congressional briefing, "Separate and Unequal: How School Investment and Integration Matter for Educational Opportunity and Attainment," was held on November 14, 2019, in Washington, DC, and hosted by the Learning Policy Institute, National Coalition on School Diversity, and Stanford Graduate School of Education and Center for Education Policy Analysis. The briefing was sponsored by Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (D-OH-11).

More than half a century after the passage of Brown v. Board, the nation’s schools are becoming increasingly segregated by race and income. And yet, a large body of research shows that school desegregation benefits all students. At this briefing, speakers discussed the research and polices on integration and school funding and how they impact students during school and later in life.
