• Equal Education Opportunity and the Pursuit of “Just Schools”: The Des Moines Independent Community School District Rethinks Diversity and the Meaning of “Minority Student”

Much to the dismay of many judges, attorneys, policymakers, school administrators, and concerned citizens, many K–12 schools are becoming increasingly segregated. Despite the passage of over fifty years since the Supreme Court’s promise in Brown v. Board of Education to provide equal education opportunities for all children, states have failed to make Brown’s promise a reality. The Supreme Court revisited the issue of school desegregation in Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 and held voluntary, race-based desegregation plans unconstitutional. In response to Parents Involved, public schools across the United States are revising their diversity plans, looking for a constitutional alternative. In an effort to achieve economic and racial diversity in a c...

• Integrating High School and the Community College: Previous Efforts and Current Possibilities

This article explores three incarnations of the idea to integrate high school and the community college-Leonard Koos's 6-4-4 plan of public school organization, Middle College High School, and the early college high school initiative. The author discusses rationales for integrating high school and the first 2 years of college, as well as possible reasons why the 6-4-4 plan and middle college high schools were not as widely implemented as their founders may have envisioned. The article concludes with a look to the future and identifies policy changes that must occur if early colleges are to become a significant and successful pathway from high school both to and through college.

• My Turn: Education, Community and School Board Elections

I truly believe that the future of a community lies with its youngest citizens. Yet, when it comes to school board elections, the community typically ignores one of its most important responsibilities. School board elections realistically have a greater impact on the future of a community than any of the other political races. I also believe that new energy and fresh ideas when facing the complicated task of being a performing school board member makes for better schools and ultimately improved education for the future leaders of a community. In other words, I believe that board membership should change routinely and that term limits should be a part of every public school board charter.
