The American public education system is already a school choice system, which is navigated in four ways. Families are lucky (as the author ultimately was, having received a scholarship from grades 7-12 to an independent, all-boys school just outside the city). They are rich enough to pay private school tuition, or they are able to leverage the mortgage market to get a house near the right school. They are connected and thus know the right people. Or they lie about where they live to gain entrance to a school for which they normally would not be eligible. While it might be too much to expect state board members to set policy based on luck or social networks, those based on wealth and address should be wholly in their purview--and top of mind, given the historical context from which these policies arose. So why would a state board support or adopt school choice policies in 2021 and into the future? This article offers three reasons worth considering: (1) The effects on schooling of segregated neighborhoods; (2) The way the pandemic has redefined choice, and (3) The demonstrated lack of resilience of many existing school systems.
