大多数美国学区都划定了“出勤界限”，以界定将学生分配到离家近的学校的集水区，这往往是在学校里重演邻里人口隔离的情况。聚焦于小学，我们问：通过重新划分出勤界限，我们可以在多大程度上减少学校隔离？结合家长偏好数据与组合优化方法，我们模拟了美国98个学区的替代边界，为300多万小学年龄段的学生提供服务，最大限度地减少了白色/非白色隔离，同时减轻了出行时间和学校规模的变化。在各个地区，我们观察到隔离的中位数相对下降了14%，我们估计这将需要大约20%的学生转学，令人惊讶的是，交通时间略有减少。我们发布了一个公共仪表板，描绘了这些替代边界，并邀请学校董事会及其选民评估其可行性。我们的研究结果表明，在不对家庭造成重大破坏的情况下，有可能实现更大的融合。
Most U.S. school districts draw “attendance boundaries” to define catchment areas that assign students to schools near their homes, often recapitulating neighborhood demographic segregation in schools. Focusing on elementary schools, we ask: How much might we reduce school segregation by redrawing attendance boundaries? Combining parent preference data with methods from combinatorial optimization, we simulate alternative boundaries for 98 U.S. school districts serving over 3 million elementary-age students, minimizing White/non-White segregation while mitigating changes to travel times and school sizes. Across districts, we observe a median 14% relative decrease in segregation, which we estimate would require approximately 20% of students to switch schools and, surprisingly, a slight reduction in travel times. We release a public dashboard depicting these alternative boundaries and invite both school boards and their constituents to evaluate their viability. Our results show the possibility of greater integration without significant disruptions for families.
