McShane, Michael Q. – American Enterprise Institute, 2021
In education policy, conservatives have often been more identifiable by what they are against than what they are for.

Peer reviewedWu, Mei-Jiun – Journal of School Choice, 2020
By case-studying a multi-route school-choice system like that of Hong Kong, this study attempts to investigate the role of district characteristics in student access to school choice under different admissions policies.

Glenn, Beth; Harris, Douglas N. – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2020
Multiple studies have documented the positive effect of school choice on college attendance.

New York State's system of public elementary and secondary schools is in steep decline, but it is salvageable. The roots of its problems pre-date the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, but the system's response to that challenge accelerated discontent with the schools and harmed students. The damage of those years will not be undone if…

Costrell, Robert M. – Education Next, 2009
Do school vouchers save the taxpayer money, or do they add to taxpayer burdens? Which groups of taxpayers are most affected, and do they gain or lose?
