Education Agency Division of School Desegregation

What is happening? New Jersey legislature is considering SB 820 (2022 | NJ) that would create the Division of School Desegregation

Why is this important? The goal will be to “identify instances in which students are functionally, though not legally, segregated along racial and socioeconomic lines, and “to ensure better integration and a more diverse enrollment in public schools,”

How will this be important? The division will accumulate and analyze student data to identify better integration.
