Book Synopsis School Choice and Social Controversy by : Stephen D. Sugarman
Download or read book School Choice and Social Controversy written by Stephen D. Sugarman and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important new volume, distinguished legal and public policy scholars address issues that are critical to the successful drafting and implementation of school choice programs, yet are usually overlooked in the choice debate. They explore whether school choice is a threat or an opportunity to the many children who are largely deprived of choice today and they offer a variety of perspectives, with some authors enthusiastic, others more skeptical. The book begins with a discussion of the types and extent of school choice, what is known about its consequences, and how politics has influenced its development. It then focuses on three important public policy issues: how school choice can revolutionize the way schools are financed, what policy interventions are necessary to increase the supply of choice schools, and how choice programs can be held accountable to parents and the state without undermining institutional autonomy. The book addresses legal issues, including whether public and private choice schools will be required to observe student and teacher rights generally recognized in traditional public schools, how the religion and speech clauses of the First Amendment may affect the participation of religious schools in school choice programs, whether school choice will enhance or aggravate opportunities for racial justice, what the implications of school choice are for teacher unions and collective bargaining, and whether children with disabilities will be accommodated in school choice programs under federal disability law. Throughout the book, the authors offer recommendations for public policy development. The contributors are Jeffrey Henig, Robert Bulman and David L. Kirp, Paul T. Hill, Robert M. O'Neil, Jesse H. Choper, Betsy Levin, William G. Buss, and Laura F. Rothstein. Stephen D. Sugarman is Agnes Roddy Robb Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. Frank R.

Book Synopsis Federal Support of School Choice by :
Download or read book Federal Support of School Choice written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to implement and expand school choice programs, which offer parents the opportunity to select their childrenâ€TMs schools, are widely debated. The federal government currently supports public school choice through the Magnet Schools Assistance program, the Public Charter Schools program, state systemic reform under the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, and Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). Legislation providing additional federal support of school choice has been considered by the 105th Congress, including proposals to provide private and public school scholarships for low-income pupils in the District of Columbia, to allow withdrawals from tax-advantaged education savings accounts for private and public elementary and secondary education expenses, to authorize use of block grant funds for private school scholarships, and to expand the Public Charter Schools program. Congressional consideration of choice options will be influenced by many factors. There is no single model of a school choice program; rather, choice programs vary substantially in the ways they address a broad array of key features. Among these features are the specific objectives sought, educational sectors involved, eligible students, limitations on student choice, and level of financial support for choice. Many states and localities are already engaged in school choice efforts that fall into one or more of several general categories: intradistrict public choice (students may choose among some or all public schools in a district); interdistrict public choice (students may choose public schools in different districts); charter schools; and private school choice. The last includes privately run voucher programs as well as state-sponsored voucher programs for specific cities. There are many possible federal options for supporting school choice, ranging from relatively modest modifications of current programs to establishment of expansive new legislative authorities. The options have different consequences for the federal financial commitment, scope of the choice effort, and state and local flexibility. Among the potential options for legislative action by the 105th Congress are the following: modify current programs to remove possible “barriersâ€ŗ to school choice; expand the current choice authority in the ESEA Title I program or authorize provision of Title I aid in the form of vouchers; establish a choice demonstration program; expand the current Magnet Schools Assistance program; expand the current Public Charter Schools authority; create an education block grant program that includes choice as an authorized use of funds; or establish new tax allowances for elementary and secondary education tuition and fees. Bills have been introduced in several of these areas. Finally, the widespread state and local activity in promoting school choice, and the absence of conclusive evidence concerning the impact of school choice programs on studentsâ€TM academic achievement or the distribution of students among schools, raise questions regarding whether federal action would substantially increase choice options beyond what would otherwise be available, and what the academic and social effects would be of any federally supported increase in choice opportunities.
Book Synopsis Policy Entrepreneurs and School Choice by : Michael Mintrom
Download or read book Policy Entrepreneurs and School Choice written by Michael Mintrom and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2000-04-26 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid and controversial, the spread of school choice initiatives across the United States has radically changed political debate about public education. In this book, Michael Mintrom explores the complex world of open-enrollment policies, charter schools and voucher plans to reveal how and why school choice has become a major issue, and he draws important conclusions about how innovative individuals can spur significant change in the policy arena. Policy entrepreneurs—individuals who take up a cause and make it part of the political agenda—have largely remained background figures without clear definition in the policymaking literature. This book is the first comprehensive and systematic treatment of the concept of policy entrepreneurship, providing an important foundation for explaining how policy proposals are initiated, considered, and adopted. Mintrom uses the emergence of school choice in state politics to examine how policy change originates. He shows how policy entrepreneurs have been instrumental in placing school choice onto state legislative agendas, despite the lack of compelling evidence about its merits, and how they use social networks, reframe policy issues, and attempt to shift the sites of policy debate. Blending innovative theory with both qualitative and quantitative investigation, Mintrom explains how energetic individuals made school choice a real choice. In doing so, he changes our broader understanding of how policy is formed.
Book Synopsis Exploring the School Choice Universe by : Kevin G. Welner
Download or read book Exploring the School Choice Universe written by Kevin G. Welner and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the School Choice Universe: Evidence and Recommendations gives readers a comprehensive, complete picture of choice policies and issues. In doing so, it offers cross-cutting insights that are obscured when one looks only at single issue or a single approach to choice. The book examines choice in its various forms: charter schools, home schooling, online schooling, voucher plans that allow students to use taxpayer funds to attend private schools, tuition tax credit plans that provide a public subsidy for private school tuition, and magnet schools and other forms of public school intra- and interdistrict choice. It brings together some of the top researchers in the field, presenting a comprehensive overview of the best current knowledge of these important policies. The questions addressed in Exploring the School Choice Universe are of most importance to researchers and policy makers. What do choice programs actually do? What forms do they take? Who participates, and why? What are the funding implications? What are the results of different forms of school choice on outcomes that matter, like student performance, segregation, and competition effects? Do they affect teachers’ working conditions? Do they drive innovation? The contents of this book offer reason to believe that choice policies can further some educational goals. But they also suggest many reasons for caution. If choice policies are to be evidence-based, a re-examination is in order. The information, insights and recommendations facilitate a more nuanced understanding of school choice and provide the basis for designing sensible school choice reforms that can pursue a range of desirable outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lance D. Fusarelli examines the relationship between the charter school and voucher issues: To what degree does political support for charter schools - from a coalition of teacher associations, school board groups, superintendents, and voucher advocates - slow or even stop the forces for vouchers? Or, do these coalitions, which successfully pushed charter school legislation through the legislature, actually fuel the fires of privatization? Charter schools legislation has enjoyed bipartisan support precisely because the threat of vouchers is so great. And, contrary to the strategy of voucher opponents, the spread of charter school increases, rather than alleviates, the push for vouchers.

Book Synopsis School Choice Tradeoffs by : R. Kenneth Godwin
Download or read book School Choice Tradeoffs written by R. Kenneth Godwin and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational policy in a democracy goes beyond teaching literacy and numeracy. It also supports teaching moral reasoning, political tolerance, respect for diversity, and citizenship. Education policy should encourage liberty and equality of opportunity, hold educational institutions accountable, and be efficient. School Choice Tradeoffs examines the tradeoffs among these goals when government affords parents the means to select the schools their children attend. Godwin and Kemerer compare current policy that uses family residence to assign students to schools with alternative policies that range from expanding public choice options to school vouchers. They identify the benefits and costs of each policy approach through a review of past empirical literature, the presentation of new empirical work, and legal and philosophic analysis. The authors offer a balanced perspective that goes beyond rhetoric and ideology to offer policymakers and the public insight into the complex tradeoffs that are inherent in the design and implementation of school choice policies. While all policies create winners and losers, the key questions concern who these individuals are and how much they gain or lose. By placing school choice within a broader context, this book will stimulate reflective thought in all readers.

Book Synopsis The Economics of School Choice by : Caroline M. Hoxby
Download or read book The Economics of School Choice written by Caroline M. Hoxby and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declared school voucher programs constitutional, the many unanswered questions concerning the potential effects of school choice will become especially pressing. Contributors to this volume draw on state-of-the-art economic methods to answer some of these questions, investigating the ways in which school choice affects a wide range of issues. Combining the results of empirical research with analyses of the basic economic forces underlying local education markets, The Economics of School Choice presents evidence concerning the impact of school choice on student achievement, school productivity, teachers, and special education. It also tackles difficult questions such as whether school choice affects where people decide to live and how choice can be integrated into a system of school financing that gives children from different backgrounds equal access to resources. Contributors discuss the latest findings on Florida's school choice program as well as voucher programs and charter schools in several other states. The resulting volume not only reveals the promise of school choice, but examines its pitfalls as well, showing how programs can be designed that exploit the idea's potential but avoid its worst effects. With school choice programs gradually becoming both more possible and more popular, this book stands out as an essential exploration of the effects such programs will have, and a necessary resource for anyone interested in the idea of school choice.
Book Synopsis Arizona Likely Voter Survey on Proposed Legislation to Enhance School Choice by : Margaret C. Kenski
Download or read book Arizona Likely Voter Survey on Proposed Legislation to Enhance School Choice written by Margaret C. Kenski and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains the results of a telephone survey of 602 likely Arizona voters on various measures to enhance school choice in Arizona. This research was conducted by Arizona Opinion of Tucson for The Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation of Indianapolis. All fieldwork was conducted on March 23-26, and 28-29, 2005 by DataCall Inc. of Phoenix. The respondents are all registered voters living in the state who voted in the 2004 general election. They were chosen randomly from voter files of those who met that criterion for Maricopa County, Pima County, and the combined 13 non-metropolitan counties. The margin of error for the whole sample is [plus or minus]4% with the highest potential for error where responses are evenly divided. The error margin for subsamples is estimated at [plus or minus]5% for those with 200 respondents or more and [plus or minus]7% for those with 140 to 199 respondents. For subsamples with fewer than 150 respondents, error margins rise to 10% or more and the data for them should be used cautiously. The only difficulty in completing the survey occurred because many voters refused an initial call because of Easter obligations or the March Madness schedule. There are six areas of inquiry in the survey which progress through the questionnaire in the order it is written. These are: (1) Most Important Issue for Government in Arizona to Address; (2) Perceived Performance of Types of Schooling in Arizona; (3) Initial Reaction to School Choice; (4) Reaction to Five School Choice Measures; (5) Universal v. Target School Choice; and (6) Impact on Candidates of Support for School Choice. The first section of this report presents the Findings. The second section contains the data tables displaying the crosstabulated responses. The two Appendices contain respectively a brief discussion of the survey methods and a table of the demographic characteristics of the sample, and a copy of the survey instrument as it was read to the respondents. (Contains 18 tables.) [This report was sponsored by the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation. This report was released jointly with the Alliance for School Choice.].
