Overview

This title examines a question about the relationship between the charter school and voucher issues: to what degree does political support for charter schools from a coalition of teacher associations, school board groups, superintendents, and voucher advocates slow or even stop the forces for vouchers? Or, do these coalitions, which successfully pushed charter school legislation through the legislature, actually fuel the fires of privatization? Charter schools legislation has enjoyed bipartisan support precisely because the threat of vouchers is so great. And, contrary to the strategy of voucher opponents, the spread of charter school increases, rather than alleviates, the push for vouchers.
