Abstract
Suburban school districts across the United States are undergoing considerable demographic change, transforming historic perceptions of suburban homogeneity. This policy brief, produced by the Geography of Education Policy Analysis Lab (GEPAL) at the University of Kansas, details strategies for growing a deeper sense of community in suburban schools experiencing these shifts. Recommended strategies include professional development centered on culturally responsive pedagogy, partnerships with local universities for demographic analysis, and cross-policy collaboration on housing and student mobility. By proactively addressing resegregation risks, suburban districts can adopt policies that encourage integration, strengthen community cohesion, and extend educational opportunities for all students.
