Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine if black and white secondary school administrative assistants perceived a difference in their job opportunities and responsibilities in the Broward County, Florida, School System, and to determine if this difference was attributable to race. The null hypothesis was that differences in questionnaire results between races were not significantly different from zero was rejected at the conventional .01 level. During the 1978-79 school year, there were 166 secondary school administrative assistants the Broward County School District. Of this number, 58 (35 percent) were black and 108 (65 percent) were white. A questionnaire was the principal means of collecting data. The random sample included 30 black and 30 white secondary school administrative assistants. Among the major findings were the following: (1) A higher percent of blacks tended to choose responses indicating discrimination than did whites. (2) The general tendency for respondents of both races was toward feeling that their race was not a limiting factor in terms of most of the areas covered by the questionnaire. (3) There was a consistent tendency for whites to feel not discriminated against to a greater relative extent than was the case for blacks on each of the 13 items. The transition from a totally segregated to a totally desegregated school system in Broward County has not been completed. Race is only one variable that has had an impact on this process. This dissertation was but one study toward an accumulation of much needed data. Suggestions were made for future research.

This dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty...
Show moreThis dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty and lack of opportunity available to its residents. Belle Glade, Florida is a rural community centrally located within the Everglades Agricultural Area. Fifty years after the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board decision, which outlawed school segregation and the separate but equal claims of Plessy vs. Ferguson, little has changed in this poor rural community. This study shows that this community, rather than representing an isolated case, is reflective of many small non-metro communities of the American South. Though integration initially intended to balance the great disparity that existed between the schools for black children and schools for white children in regards to facilities, materials, and curriculum, in Belle Glade and throughout the South those same disparities still exist today. This study argues that current state education policies, modeled after the federal government's "No Child Left Behind Plan," are a veneer for a separate and unequal educational policy and practice in the state of Florida. It seeks to explore and document why this has occurred, and place this case study within the larger context of structural inequalities on the local, national and global levels. How is it that the "freest nation in the world" with the largest gross national product has yet to fulfill its most fundamental promise to this community---equal opportunity and access to quality education? Thus, this dissertation asks why regardless of the policies, plans, curricula and tests the district and state adopt, at times with the best of intentions, nothing seems to improve the conditions of these black citizens? More importantly, when these issues are addressed, who speaks, under what conditions and for whom?
