Since the year 2000, the population of people of color and of poor families in the suburbs has been rapidly increasing, making these areas far more diverse than they were a generation ago. This book presents three case studies of inner-ring suburban middle schools coping with these issues. Readers of this volume can learn how school leaders and teachers try to negotiate educational mandates while serving their students.
