Access issues are pivotal to almost all charter school tensions and
debates. How well are these schools performing? Are they
segregating and stratifying? Are they public and democratic? Are
they fairly funded? Can apparent successes be scaled up? Answers to
all these core questions hinge on how access to charter schools is
shaped. This book describes the incentives and pressures on charter
schools to restrict access and examines how charters navigate those
pressures, explaining access-restricting practices in relation to
the ecosystem within which charter schools are created. It also
explains how charters have sometimes responded by resisting the
pressures and sometimes by surrendering to them. The text presents
analyses of 13 different types of practices around access, each of
which shapes the school's enrollment. The authors conclude by
offering recommendations for how states and authorizers can address
access-related inequities that arise in the charter sector.
School's Choice provides timely information on critical academic
and policy issues that will come into play as charter school policy
continues to evolve.Book Features: Examines how charter schools
control who gains and retains access. Explores policies and
practices that undermine equitable admission and encourage
opportunity hoarding. Offers a set of policy recommendations at the
state and federal level to address access-related issues.
