School Choice: Today's Scope and Barriers to Growth
Manno, Bruno V.
Journal of School Choice, v4 n4 p510-523 2010
Few people realize the movement's breadth and the forms in which school choice expansion is manifest. Out of slightly more than 57 million K-12 schoolchildren, almost 29.4 million--nearly 52%--are enrolled in a K-12 school choice option. This article provides an overview of the scope of school choice today and summarizes the political, policy, and procedural barriers that impeded expansion. (Contains 3 tables.)
