| Description: |
In the U.S. public school system, White middle-class female teacher workforces have dominantly served an increasing number of students of color. While the racial interplay between teachers and students has offered insightful implications for continuing disparities in student discipline, little research has been done to link the racial match of the teaching force to their served communities. This study examines how the ethnoracial congruence between teachers and populations in their school district moderates racial gaps in in-school suspension rates between White and non-White students in Tennessee. The research demonstrates that when teachers serve communities of the same race, their schools are less likely to show a substantial gap in in-school suspensions between White students and students of color. |
