About this product
Product Information
The Politics of School Choice is the first comprehensive examination of diverse efforts to promote tax credits, public vouchers, private scholarships, and charter schools. Morken and Formicola provide the most current national report on the burgeoning American school choice movement. They analyze the strategies and tactics being used by a wide variety of individuals and organizations to leverage change, pass laws, win court cases, and mobilize community support to build successful, winning, school choice coalitions. Based largely on extensive interviews, documentary research, and surveys, this book covers the spectrum of school choice options and shows how they are being promoted in the United States today. It explains who the players are, what types of programs they endorse, and the various rationales behind them. The authors report the views of the entrepreneurs, religious leaders, heads of think tanks and foundations, public litigators, scholars, activists, minority leaders, and politicians who are in the forefront of providing parents with resources for educational alternatives. Finally, Morken and Formicola cover the strengths and weaknesses of the school choice issue, concluding that the movement has a wide ranging membership, that is uneven in its implementation, and that it is taking different forms in various regions of the country. As the pace of change accelerates and new school choice programs proliferate, this study is a critical resource for all those concerned about the present and future staus of American education.

Reviews
Morken and Formicola have done the field of political science a great service in providing the first comprehensive treatment of the school choice movement. I highly recommend this volume for everyone involved in the school choice issue--from the activist to the scholar in political science. The stories told in this volume put faces to a very complex issue in American public policy. Finally, the book is very well written., At last a book on school choice by able social scientists that takes us beyond the ideological battles into the fascinating story of the politics and personalities of school choice proponents. This book is an unparalleled resource for those interested in the politics of school choice: grounded in specifics, thoughtful in its discussions of strategies, and delightfully accessible to the reader., [Morken and Formicola] provide an excellent overview of the difficulties of building a coalition of diverse groups in pursuit of a political goal. A useful study of American politics for anyone interested in the politics of education., Mr. Morken and Mrs. Formicola's book is at its best when they are describing the philosophical differences between school choice advocates or when they discuss state battles., The Politics of School Choice is the first book that comprehensively and thoroughly describes the emerging, growing school choice movement. It does so in a careful, scholarly manner . . . filling a significant gap. It is likely to be widely commented on and to appeal to a wide audience.
