What is School Choice?

With so much misinformation (and even disinformation) out there regarding school choice, we thought it would be helpful to list some of the most frequently cited mischaracterizations of the movement itself. Some of it is just general background information, and some of the following pages are direct responses to rhetorical statements made by detractors of school choice.

“What is school choice?”

“What is a charter school?”

“Do charter schools take jobs from local schools?”

“Do charter schools perform better than district public schools?”

“What is an EMO, what is a CMO, and what do they do?”

“Do charter schools “cream” the best students from district public schools?”

“Do charter schools make money off their real estate at the expense of taxpayers?”

“What is a school voucher and how does it work?”

“Will system-wide reform suffer if we provide tax credit scholarships to public school students?”

“Which is better, charters or vouchers?”
