Abstract
The center of neoliberal education reform in both a literal and figurative sense is the urban public school. As such, the surrounding communities feel the effects of such reforms. Indeed, neoliberal education reform has ties to larger efforts to re(de)form the city (Helfenbein, 2011). These education reforms are situated with(in) a larger movement that seeks to undermine public services and shift the balance of democracy firmly away from any communitarian principles onto a hyper-realized individual.
