This qualitative study examined the impact and implications of resegregation on
students of color by capturing and analyzing the lived experiences of school principals
leading high poverty and low poverty schools where resegregation was occurring.
Despite the growing concern for resegregation, little has been down to reverse the
adverse affects of this phenomenon. The body of research that has explored the essence
of resegregation has in small volumes acknowledged the perception of school principals.
A much clearer portrait of the impact resegregation was having on schools as perceived
by school principals offered an in-depth understanding of the way in which policy and
practices affect schools undergoing resegregation. Hence, this study used the hermeneutic
phenomenological methodology in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding and
meaning of the complex experiences of resegregation from the perspective of school
principals. The data was explicated by using Hycner’s (1999) five step process. The findings and conclusion of this study were intended to inform policy alternatives and practices through aggregating collected and analyzed perspectives of school principals of high poverty and low poverty schools. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
