These disruptions significantly impacted approaches and initiatives that were being set in motion prior to the pandemic. However, recent political and social shifts in U.S. society have exacerbated barriers for students and have created unfavorable conditions for school leaders. In this conceptual paper, we argue that school leadership during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic should incorporate equity-oriented practices and policies at the district level, through collaborative opportunities, and specific equity leadership logics to support students, and advance educational outcomes within this new period of democratic education.

This funding disparity impacts students’ long-term outcomes in school and in their community. Political discourse has prioritized school defunding, privatization through vouchers and related policies, and tax relief and at the same time greater regulation of curriculum, content, and pedagogy in schools. Southern states in particular have moved to restrict access to a discourse of liberation and are threatening sanctions if schools implement specific content (e.g., race, and oppression). We explore the potential for school finance to create spaces that decrease democratic participation through school funding disparity. We use district-level panel data that combines National Center for Education Statistics and Census data from 2000 to 2018 to explore the patterns of school funding disparity in nine southern states; Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. We find racial/ethnic make-up interacts with specific funding variables so that districts with higher percentages of minoritized students are at a disadvantage financially. We also find that states may over rely on local and federal funds to maintain funding levels despite increases in cost pressures.","PeriodicalId":39777,"journal":{"name":"Peabody Journal of Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135665653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While others have documented the sources of these messages, how school districts have responded to these critiques has not yet been investigated. Drawing on research on how social media algorithms elevate polarizing information and activate emotions, we analyze public social media posts on school/district Facebook pages mentioning the phrase “critical race” to examine how educators address the claim of teaching CRT and how the local community responds. We use sentiment analysis to examine the emotions of these posts and how they are distributed across states. We also explore the sentiment of subsequent community reactions reflected in the comments of each post, including negative emotions such as anger and fear, and positive emotions such as trust. This study has implications for how school districts can help to stop cycles of fearful rhetoric and engage with stakeholders in ways that unite a school community around shared priorities. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 We realized that querying “CRT” yielded greater false positives in the form of posts that were not about “Critical Race Theory” but about “classroom reduction teachers” or televisions with “cathode ray tubes” being allowed in school electronic waste drives. Similarly, querying “Critical Race Theory” did not yield an appreciable increase in relevant posts, while requiring the word “theory” as part of the query resulted in some false negatives in which relevant posts were excluded.2 Demographic information and other district statistics for both Westfield, MA and Springboro, OH are from the National Center for Education Statistics accessed in June 2022.Additional informationNotes on contributorsEmily M.

This study examined the SDCHI through a Critical Policy Analysis and Critical Race Theory lens to understand how the initiative and related rhetoric reflected, protected, and perpetuated Whiteness as property. To answer this question, we conducted an inductive content analysis of 40 policy documents. Our analysis generated a microhistory and two thematic findings that underscored the contradictions in policy rhetoric, rationales, and implementation to reveal how the SDCHI perpetuated White supremacy by reinforcing a single-narrative master script of American history and identity. Collectively the findings pointed to the ways that Whiteness as property functioned to thwart efforts toward socially just and culturally responsive education. By critically examining these policy mechanisms, this study seeks to inform the responses of educators and policymakers committed to emancipatory, democratic, and socially just approaches to civic education.
