美国各地的郊区正在经历巨大的人口变化，但几乎没有关于郊区学区如何应对这些变化的研究。在这篇文章中，我们研究了话语周围的种族和人口变化，在三个郊区学区，一直在经历快速的人口变化，并包含人口统计学上不同的地区在他们的地区边界。利用批评性话语分析（CDA）的方法，我们分析了政策背景（联邦和州）框架演员的话语和种族的理解，特别注意影响学校政策的政治和制度因素。我们说明如何话语，反过来，是相关的地区和学校领导人采取的行动（或不作为），以应对人口变化。最后，我们讨论的政策影响和潜在的挑战，地区可能面临的未来，如果努力有目的地解决种族的变化继续避免的文章。
Suburbs across the US are experiencing dramatic demographic shifts, yet there is little research available on how suburban school districts are dealing with these changes. In this article, we examine the discourses surrounding race and demographic change in three suburban school districts that have been undergoing rapid demographic changes and which contain demographically distinct areas within their district boundaries. Utilizing a critical discourse analysis (CDA) approach, we analyze how the policy context (federal and state) frames actors’ discourses and understandings of race, paying particular attention to the political and institutional factors affecting school policy. We illustrate how the discourse, in turn, is related to the actions (or inactions) taken by district and school leaders to respond to demographic change. We conclude the article by discussing policy implications and potential challenges districts may face in the future if efforts to purposively address racial changes continue to be avoided.
