Right School, Wrong Address? School Residency Verification In U.S. Public Schools
About this episode
The episode discusses the methods used by U.S. school districts to verify student residency and the implications of these practices on low-income families and students of color.
In this episode, I discuss how U.S. school districts use private investigators, local law enforcement, and technologies like license plate recognition to verify student residency. School districts argue they investigate this to ensure students live within their boundaries, but some residency verification cases that are initiated sometimes unfairly target low-income families and students of color. What’s meant to protect resources often creates barriers, raising questions about fairness, bias, and who really belongs. #schoolresidencyverification #schooldistricts #publicschools #americaneducation #schoolboundary Check out the webiste for more info http://treyevansthepeoplesvoice.com/ #thepeoplesvoicepodcast #social issues Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research
