对多样性和社区学校的态度很重要，因为它们是许多家庭决定居住地点的基础，对学校系统和学生都有影响。取消种族隔离的案例研究强调了影响这些结果的位置动态，但理论和方法的差异限制了这些地区居民之间的严格比较。本研究的重点是两个研究不足的相关性，这些偏好对学校分配模式：学区的位置和居住时间在该地区。我们评估学区的位置和居住时间是否会减少对多样化学校的支持，增加对社区学校的支持，以及众多的控制。我们使用了一个创新的新数据集，其特点是民意调查的受访者的意见公立学校的任务在罗利，NC;夏洛特，NC;路易斯维尔，肯塔基州;罗克希尔，SC;和纳什维尔，TN（5302例）。我们发现，与在学区居住7年或更短时间相比，在该学区居住15年以上会减少对多样性的支持。此外，在一个地区生活一辈子会增加对附近学校的支持。我们还发现，夏洛特-梅克伦堡，罗克希尔，和纳什维尔地区比罗利社区学校的支持，但也有居住时间和学区的位置之间的交互作用。这些结果揭示了地区差异的社会力量导致学校种族隔离。
Attitudes toward diversity and neighborhood schools matter because they underlie many families’ decisions for residential location, with consequences for both school systems and students. Case studies of desegregation highlight locational dynamics that influence these outcomes, but differences in theory and methods limit rigorous comparisons among residents across such areas. This study focuses on two under-researched correlates of these preferences toward school assignment models: school district location and length of residence in that district. We evaluate whether school district location and length of residence decrease support for diverse schools and increase support for neighborhood schools, net of numerous controls. We use an innovative new dataset that features opinion polling of respondents’ views of public school assignments in Raleigh, NC; Charlotte, NC; Louisville, KY; Rock Hill, SC; and Nashville, TN (5302 cases). We find that compared to having lived in a school district 7 years or less, living in that district over 15 years decreases support for diversity. Furthermore, living all one’s life in a district increases support for neighborhood schools. We also find that Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Rock Hill, and Nashville districts are less supportive of neighborhood schools than Raleigh, but that there are also interactive effects between length of residence and school district location. These results shed light on district differences in social forces leading to school resegregation.
