Seeking Justice in Educational Opportunity: An Analysis of the Evidence on School Vouchers and Children Placed at Risk

Abstract

The issue of publicly funded school vouchers will not disappear soon from the educational policy agenda, and unfortunately much of the debate remains highly ideological. This article seeks to analyze the evidence and make reasoned predictions about the likely effects of vouchers for children placed at risk. It concludes with a proposal that attempts to strike a balance between conflicting ideological pursuits of "justice."
