Chana Joffe-Walt explores how white parents can shape a school —
even when they aren’t there.

She traces the history of I.S. 293, now the Boerum Hill School
for International Studies, from the 1980s through the modern
education reforms of the 2000s. In the process, Chana talks to
alumni who loved their school and never questioned why it was on
the edge of a white neighborhood. To them, it was just where
everyone went. But she also speaks to some who watched the school
change over the years and questioned whether a local community
school board was secretly plotting against 293.
