community control of schools
Definition
- Community control of schools was the rallying cry of African American activists in the late 1960s, as they sought to replace New York City's central board of education with “community control” boards governing inner-city schools. The campaign for community control centered on the creation of two boards governing a number of schools in Harlem and Ocean Hill-Brownsville, Brooklyn.
