• Summary:"The book sets the stage, with a discussion of the history of voucher battles, the legal dimensions, and the politics of policy change. -The book includes careful studies of the basic structure of contemporary private schooling, of the crucial Southern history of vouchers, and of the key federal court decisions that have opened the door to the explosion of state legislation described earlier. -Finally, the book includes profiles of voucher policies in two of the states that have made the largest efforts to support vouchers, as well as the only nationally funded program in the nation's capital. -Chapter authors are national experts who have produced seminal work in the field. Researchers (particularly school-choice researchers), people engaged in policy making (particularly around school choice), school administrators, and teachers"-- Provided by publisher.
