They are cognizant of the struggles of boards whose failure to address issues of anti-Black racism and other forms of racism have resulted in a loss of public confidence and in turn the imposition of external interventions and an imposed plan of action. [...] The authors draw on Critical Race Theory (CRT) to support, frame, and theorize their research and thinking about race and racism in education and schooling and to inform analysis of their findings.
