| 520 | |a This paper reviews the theoretical basis for educational voucher proposals, the various types of vouchers proposed, and the experience that has been had with voucher systems so far. The paper looks first at the claims made by voucher supporters that vouchers will redistribute political and economic power and simplify the administration of educational funding. The history of efforts to test and enact voucher plans is then examined briefly. The paper next describes regulated vouchers that limit potential socially undesirable results. The limited voucher system field tested by Alum Rock School District in San Jose, California, provides an illustration of such a system's possible impact. The most monitored of all education choice programs, this experiment yielded a rich data base on how families will respond to a large array of choices among schools. The political influence of opposition to vouchers by teacher groups is considered next. Noting that the history of vouchers suggests that only limited and regulated versions of the idea are politically viable, the paper then discusses three limited uses for vouchers: (1) for schools in sparsely populated areas, (2) for racial balancing, and (3) for such children at risk as dropouts and the educationally disadvantaged. Fifty-one footnotes are appended. (PGD) | ||
