A Question of Necessity or of Equity? Full-Service Community Schools and the (Mis)Education of Black Youth
Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, v24 n3 p244-271 2019
Public schools in the United States have struggled to determine whether their mandate is simply knowledge transmission or includes the development and well-being of the whole child. Contemporary realities of resegregation and inequality have prompted many districts to embrace this latter notion and consider the Full Service Community Schools (FSCSs) model. In this paper, we examine a school district's FSCS initiative as implemented at a predominately Black middle school and a racially heterogeneous high school. We ask, what are the characteristics--e.g. structural, pedagogical, relational, discursive--of FSCSs that seek to support Black students' well-being and academic success? How do Black parents and students experience these FSCSs? Findings illustrate the racialized nuance of FSCS reforms, including the critical role of culturally relevant strategies and the need for an aligned sociopolitical clarity and related set of goals across educational stakeholders in order to create and sustain the success of FSCSs.
