Across the country, shifting immigration patterns are rapidly changing the demographics of schools with little recent tradition of educating immigrant students. Although emerging immigrant communities represent a widespread and significant national trend, little is known about the educational implications of this demographic shift. This study examines organizational adaptation in the context of emerging immigrant communities, with a particular focus on schools serving members of a New Latino Diaspora. This study addresses the following two research questions: 1) In communities experiencing a rapid increase in their Latino immigrant population, what practices constitute the school response? 2) How do environmental and organizational factors influence this process of organizational adaptation? While a growing body of education research offers case studies of schools serving members of the New Latino Diaspora, this study contributes a statewide perspective through an electronic survey of administrators and educators across the state of Wisconsin. This approach supports previously unexamined comparisons across contexts and analysis of policy implications for schools serving emerging immigrants. Specifically, data for analysis included school enrollment data from 1998 to 2008, approximately 110 principal and 150 teacher surveys, and state policy documents. Analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics, as well as textual analysis of comments. Areas of organizational adaptation discussed were human resources and professional capacity, the design and delivery of support services, and the social integration of immigrant students and their families. Findings suggest that some schools respond proactively, while others struggle to adapt. This study concludes with implications for policy, practice, and future research.
