Sampson, William; Gulasingam, Nandhini – IAP - Information Age Publishing, Inc., 2020
While much of the debate over the growth of charter schools center on the student academic performance of charter schools as well as the financial impact that they have on school budgets, there is a growing concern that charter schools use harsh discipline to nudge certain students out. The concern is that charter schools use excessive discipline…

Valant, Jon – National Center for Research on Education Access and Choice, 2022
Perhaps the most extreme step that education leaders can take to improve school quality is to close a school entirely. School closures are controversial due to the harms and disruptions they can create for families. These harms may be particularly severe if displaced families do not receive adequate support in transitioning to new schools. Since…
