Racial Inequality in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools

This study looks at why there is a large gap in academic achievement between Black and white students in Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS). To find answers, researchers will conduct detailed interviews with current and former CHCCS teachers, school leaders, parents, and former students. Through analysis of these interviews, the study aims to understand what factors from the past and present maintain racial inequality in the school district. The findings will help shed light on the causes of racial differences in educational outcomes and suggest ways to make education more equal in CHCCS and similar communities.
