Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the community consequences of school closure and reuse. Specifically, this dissertation uses parallel mixed methods to contribute to the extant literature on school closure by addressing two gaps in the research: (1) how does school closure impact property values of proximal homes? And (2) how do neighborhood residents experience school closure and reuse over the long run? I examine the first research questions by deploying a two-way fixed effect identification strategy in a hedonic capitalization model to estimate how school closure impacts neighborhood housing prices. I studied the second question using a qualitative retroactive multiple case study method to understand how neighborhood residents experience school closure over time. Used in tandem, quantitative and qualitative methods allow for a deeper understanding of how closure impacts communities.Results of the quantitative inquiry show that school closure resulted in a statistically significant decline in residential property values of about 13%. Additionally, when the school closure effect was allowed to vary for each individual school closure, estimates ranged from a penalty of 3% to 25%—heterogeneity that suggests that some unobserved phenomenon may be moderating the relationship between school closure and housing value. Qualitatively, residents reported experiencing school closure as a deeply emotional issue. Residents were clear that their neighborhood schools played an important role in the community, beyond their formal educational responsibility; the schools acted as social infrastructure where neighbors could meet and build community. When the schools were closed, their roles in their communities were diminished. After closure, the schools were purchased by private companies that made substantial changes to the school properties without consulting neighborhood residents. Residents resisted these changes an never fully internalized that the once public schools were now private property. These qualitative findings suggest that school property reuse is difficult and may be the variable that moderates the heterogeneous relationship between school closure and housing value found in the quantitative study. This dissertation contributes new evidence that schools provide important non-educational benefits to communities and that their removal has meaningful and measurable consequences.

Book excerpt: In 2019, the School Board for the small, rural Marion-Chester Area School District (MCASD) in Wisconsin voted to dissolve the district entirely after the repeated failure of local ballot measures requesting additional funding. This dissertation presents an examination of the dissolution crisis in MCASD, drawing on socio-cultural policy perspectives and utilizing qualitative, ethnographic methods to answer the question, how can we understand the constellation of contexts and factors, especially public support, policy structures, and local dynamics, that shaped the financial crisis in MCASD, a small, rural, financially bankrupt school district threatened with total dissolution? Taking seriously Weis and Fine's (2012) call for critical bifocality, I direct attention to both individuals and structures and the ways in which each mattered in MCASD. First, I explore the ways in which local factors both shaped and were revealed through the controversy, including debates over community definition, the place and purpose of schools for communities and individuals, questions of legitimate decision-making in educational policy. In doing so, I capture the complexity of this crisis and the ways in which it speaks to multiple ongoing educational policy debates while also revealing complications and contradictions within rural conservativism. Then, I direct attention to the policy structures that surrounded MCASD, including educational policies like those governing school funding and subjecting schools to market pressures and non-educational policies such as those addressing land use. I argue that existing policies functioned as a trap, leading MCASD into an untenable situation that the School Board felt could only be addressed through dissolution. Finally, I develop the notion of strategic belonging, a technique in which some residents of the MCASD asserted affinity with a neighboring community in a way that supported their perceived educational, resource, and racial self-interest. This study makes empirical and theoretical contributions to multiple literatures, including those examining rural education policy and politics, neoliberal and marketizing educational policies, and the politics of education writ large; further, it has practical implications for educational policy in Wisconsin and beyond.

Download or read book Corporal Punishment in U S Public Schools written by Elizabeth T. Gershoff and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief reviews the past, present, and future use of school corporal punishment in the United States, a practice that remains legal in 19 states as it is constitutionally permitted according to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result of school corporal punishment, nearly 200,000 children are paddled in schools each year. Most Americans are unaware of this fact or the physical injuries sustained by countless school children who are hit with objects by school personnel in the name of discipline. Therefore, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools begins by summarizing the legal basis for school corporal punishment and trends in Americans’ attitudes about it. It then presents trends in the use of school corporal punishment in the United States over time to establish its past and current prevalence. It then discusses what is known about the effects of school corporal punishment on children, though with so little research on this topic, much of the relevant literature is focused on parents’ use of corporal punishment with their children. It also provides results from a policy analysis that examines the effect of state-level school corporal punishment bans on trends in juvenile crime. It concludes by discussing potential legal, policy, and advocacy avenues for abolition of school corporal punishment at the state and federal levels as well as summarizing how school corporal punishment is being used and what its potential implications are for thousands of individual students and for the society at large. As school corporal punishment becomes more and more regulated at the state level, Corporal Punishment in U.S. Public Schools serves an essential guide for policymakers and advocates across the country as well as for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students.
