“…The levels of charter school racial and academic segregation are compared to the levels of racial and academic segregation in district schools in the education marketplace. Using district schools as the point of comparison is consistent with the recommendations of other researchers of school choice policies (Hill & Guin, 2002).…”

This study captures the impact of school choice decisions by comparing the racial composition of the district schools students exited to the charter schools they entered. Charter school catchment areas are operationalized using a statewide student-level database to track school attendance patterns of individual students over 4 years. Charter elementary school choosers enter charter schools that are more racially segregated than the district schools they exited, although on entrance into high school, choosers enter charter schools that are as racially segregated or more integrated than the district schools they exited. In addition, racial segregation patterns are the result of White flight and Black and Native American students self-segregating into charter schools that are more racially isolated than the district schools they exit.

“…For example, Hill and Guin (2002) assert that "choice programs must be carefully designed to prevent segregation, and any program that produces levels of segregation as great as those now prevailing in the public education system should be scrapped or redesigned" (p. 49). Our findings suggest that many state charter laws need to be redesigned to include stronger enforcement mechanisms to ensure racial integration.…”

Segregation patterns in the nation's charter schools are studied. After reviewing state charter legislation that directly addresses issues of racial and ethnic balance of student enrollment, we briefly examine the racial composition and segregation of the charter school population nationally. School-level analyses, aggregated by state constitute the primary method of studying segregation in charter schools. First, we look at racial composition and segregation of charter schools by state. Then, we consider the differences in segregation between non-charter public schools (or simply "public schools" for convenience) and charter schools, as well as segregation within the charter school sector. We conclude with a discussion of the article's findings and recommendations to promote further racial 2 of 48 equity in this growing sector of public schools. (Note 1) Foreword

“…The integration effects of vouchers must include individual student data, school-level data, and district-level data. Hill and Guin (2002) argued the importance of comparing the existing public segregation baselines to the data from choice schools to refute claims of resegregation. The debate should "clarify the level and type of stratification against which choice systems will be measured and discover which aspects of choice are related to these patterns" (Schneider, Teske, & Marschall, 2000, p. 222).…”

School choice initiatives such as open enrollment, magnet schools, charter schools, and voucher plans have been offered as methods of school reform. A publicly funded voucher plan in Florida targeting students with disabilities was considered as a possible model for the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Although the model was not adopted in the reauthorized law, the potential impact of such voucher plans must be examined.. The empirical evidence regarding the impact of vouchers on parent choice, student achievement, and fiscal school management is inconclusive and incomplete. Further, the impact of voucher plans on educational programs for students with disabilities has not been thoroughly studied. Such an examination requires a multiparadigmatic analysis of legal, economic, academic, sociological, and political dimensions.
