This qualitative case study employing a critical race theory methodology uses Derrick Bell’s conceptualization of racial fortuity to examine the ways leaders at Carver High School responded to accountability pressures related to supporting students of color. Findings highlight how school leaders’ espoused racially just improvement initiatives and definitions of success were actually instantiations of racial fortuity where students of color were forced to involuntarily sacrifice their educational opportunities while leaders were positioned as the primary beneficiaries of this equity-minded work. The implications highlight the need for leaders to bring communities and students of color into school improvement efforts intended to advance racially just educational opportunities for youth of color.

种族命运的故事：质疑一所高中对有色人种青年成功定义的沉默契约

这个采用批判种族理论方法的定性案例研究使用德里克贝尔的种族命运概念来检查卡佛高中的领导者应对与支持有色人种学生相关的责任压力的方式。调查结果强调了学校领导如何支持种族公正的改进举措和成功的定义实际上是种族偶然性的实例，有色人种学生被迫不由自主地牺牲他们的教育机会，而领导者则被定位为这项具有公平意识的工作的主要受益者。这些影响凸显了领导者需要将社区和有色人种学生纳入学校改进工作，旨在为有色人种青年提供种族公正的教育机会。
