Apply the neighborhood-centered grouping approach in other cities for research, policy decisions, and service allocation¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The brief recommends that other cities, school districts, and policy makers apply a similar neighborhood-centered approach for different objectives. It states: "Future work can apply a similar approach for different objectives, including conducting research studies, making policy decisions, and providing services or resources." The strategy transfers the census-based grouping method beyond the Chicago example.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Publicly available census data for the target city or district

Constraints¶

• The brief presents this as future work; it reports no replication in another city

Target Learners¶

• City and district policy makers
• Education researchers

Target Learning Goals¶

• Equitably and efficiently allocating services, supports, and resources across neighborhoods

Related Strategies¶

• Use cross-sector data-driven strategies — housing affordability, green space, restorative discipline, and civic engagement curricula — to reduce retention and raise graduation
