School Integration Priorities for a Biden/Harris Administration. Policy Brief 12
National Coalition on School Diversity
The benefits of attending diverse schools accrue to children from all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. The benefits include, but are not limited to, higher academic achievement. These gains continue into adulthood, leading to higher levels of social cohesion and civic engagement; reduced racial prejudice; and less segregation in neighborhoods, colleges, and workplaces. Social science also demonstrates the democratic value of meaningful, sustained cross-racial contact among youth. The Biden/Harris Administration has many opportunities to demonstrate concrete support for efforts to build cross-racial understanding and facilitate more equitable distribution of resources and power through school integration. The policy brief outlines a broader, longer-term school integration agenda for the administration's first term.
