NYC public schools have a history of being segregated. In fact, despite the city's diverse populations, it's schools are some of the most segregated in the country. On this segment, we take a look to see where efforts to make them more demographically diverse are working. Some of the causes are complex -- like gentrification and rezoning -- but our guests help us understand both the broader picture and some of the more local, day to day things that educators are doing to create this change.
Clarence G Ellis is the Superintendent of Schools for District 17, covering some Central Brooklyn neighborhoods undergoing major population shifts, and Clara Hemphill is the Founder and Senior Editor at Inside Schools, a publication devoted to providing independent assessment of our public schools.
