===== Date and country of first publication<ref>Date and country of first publication as informed by the Scopus database (December 2023).</ref>===== 2003<br> United States ===== Definition ===== School district segregation refers to the separation or division of students based on race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status within a school district. This can occur through various means, such as the creation of racially or economically homogenous schools, unequal resource allocation, or the drawing of district boundaries that concentrate certain groups in specific areas. Historically, school district segregation in the United States has been a result of both de jure segregation, which was mandated by law, and de facto segregation, which occurred due to social and economic factors. During the era of racial segregation in the mid-20th century, many school districts implemented policies that enforced separate and unequal educational opportunities for African American and white students. This changed with the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional and mandated the desegregation of schools. However, despite legal efforts to combat segregation, de facto segregation remains a significant issue in many school districts. Factors such as residential segregation, income disparities, and unequal funding contribute to the perpetuation of segregation. As a result, students from marginalized communities often have fewer resources and face educational inequities compared to their peers in more affluent and predominantly white school districts. Efforts to address school district segregation involve various strategies, such as implementing policies to promote diversity and equal opportunity, revising district boundaries, and redistributing resources. These efforts aim to ensure that all students, regardless of their race or socioeconomic background, have access to high-quality education. ==See also== ==Related segregation forms== School district segregation is frequently discussed in the literature with the following segregation forms: [[income segregation]], [[school segregation]], [[ethnoracial segregation]], [[neighborhood segregation]], [[racial segregation]], [[economic segregation]], [[black white segregation]], [[residential segregation]], [[socioeconomic segregation]], [[hispanic white segregation]] [[File:school_district_segregation.png|780x780px]] This visualization is based on the study [[Segregation_Wiki:About| The Multidisciplinary Landscape of Segregation Research]].
