Separate and Unequal Infrastructure: Public Investment
in School Facilities

More than 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education, racial segregation persists and regional development patterns and population growth have resulted in a massive need to modernize old schools and construct new ones. School districts across the country are in the midst of a $90 billion three-year building boom. Unfortunately, many low-income communities of color receive less of this public investment than wealthier communities. This session examined how recent litigation and legislative advocacy are pushing states to make their school construction expenditures more equitable.
