National Coalition on School Diversity: Reaffirming the Role of School Integration in K-12 Education Policy The National Coalition on School Diversity (NCSD) is pressing for a more significant commitment to racial and economic integration in U.S. Department of Education programs – in magnet schools, charter schools, through interdistrict transfers under No Child Left Behind, and in the new education funds set up under the 2009 economic stimulus legislation (Race to the Top and the Innovation Fund). Participating organizations in the coalition are listed below.Recent Advocacy on School Diversity | Coalition Issue Briefs | Highlights from State and Local Campaigns | Coalition Research Briefs | Other Resources on School Diversity | Notices and Guidance from the U.S. Department of Education | Recent Academic Research- METCO Merits More: The History and Status of METCO (June 2011), co-authored by Susan Eaton, research director at the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute, and Gina Chirichigno, a post-doctoral researcher at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Ohio State University, is the first comprehensive review of Boston’s interdistrict school integration program in nearly a decade.
