Youngran Kim; Ron Zimmer – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2023
During the pandemic, a number of states instituted hold-harmless funding policies to protect school district financially from declining enrollments (Center for Public Education, 2021).

DiPerna, Paul, Ed. – Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice, 2012
School choice is a common sense idea that gives all parents the power and freedom to choose their child's education, while encouraging healthy competition among schools and other institutions to better serve students' needs and priorities. It is a public policy that allows a parent/guardian or student to choose a district, charter, or private…

Figlio, David N.; Hart, Cassandra M. D. – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research, 2010
Voucher options like tuition tax credit-funded scholarship programs have become increasingly popular in recent years. One argument for such school choice policies is that public schools will improve the quality of education they offer when faced with competition for their students. This study examines the effects of private school competition on…

Research has documented a crisis in Texas high school graduation rates. Only 67 percent of Texas students graduate from high school, and some large urban districts have graduation rates of 50 percent or lower. This study documents the public costs of high school dropouts in Texas and examines how school choice could provide large public benefits…

Gottlob, Brian J. – Milton & Rose D. Friedman Foundation, 2007
North Carolina has a dropout crisis--only two thirds of North Carolina high school students graduate. One reason this crisis has not received the attention it deserves is because the state was reporting badly inflated graduation rates (supposedly as high as 97 percent) until it finally adopted a more realistic reporting method earlier this year.…

Gottlob, Brian J. – Milton & Rose D. Friedman Foundation, 2007

While state officials report a graduation rate above 70 percent, researchers from South Carolina and elsewhere place the rate just above 50 percent, with rates among minority students lower than 50 percent. South Carolina's graduation rate is the worst of all 50…

First implemented in the 1998-1999 school year, the program now includes 1% of all Wisconsin K-12 students. In its first…
