“…Arguably, there are many ways in which a charter school or charter school policy can induce (or mitigate) change in a public school district, and only one of these avenues is competition (Linick & Lubienski, 2013). If a public school even chooses to respond to a nearby charter school, the possible responses are not limited to competition and may include accommodation, collusion, and cooperation (Ni & Arsen, 2010).…”

“…First, the observation that charter school density, proximity, or market share is generating competition because of effects, does not account for any effects that could be generated through choice, autonomy, collusion, or cooperation. Second, the assumption that the presence of charter schools is inducing a competitive response is flawed as institutional factors and environmental factors may prevent a public school district or school from responding (Linick & Lubienski, 2013;Ni & Arsen, 2010). Lastly, though many studies claim charter school "competition" is generating effects, a more accurate description would be that charter school proximity, density, and/or market share is associated with a change of outcomes at district-run schools.…”

There is a developing literature examining how charter schools, through the effects of competition, impact performance in public school districts and district-run public schools, also known as the second-level effects of competition. What follows is an examination of how competition is measured in this literature that offers a critique of existing approaches to that measurement. Findings in these studies are problematized by inconsistent findings in other, similar studies; inconsistencies which may be due to inconsistent definitions and metrics of competition. I suggest a more specific definition of competition and suggest that other disciplines may offer guidance in the pursuit of a more consistent measurement of competitive effects.

“…Over the past three decades, the primary and secondary education landscape in the USA has vastly changed. The establishment of public magnet, charter, and other specialized schools combined with education policies that enhance school choice have resulted in sharp increases in competition within many school districts across the nation (Cremata and Raymond, 2014;Linick and Lubienski, 2013;Foskett, 2012). In addition to having a greater array of choices, consumers are also better informed (Kisida and Wolf, 2010).…”

Purpose While the role of relationship marketing to consumers’ overall satisfaction with schools has been discussed in the education management literature, empirical studies on the marketing mechanisms that underpin school-customer relationships are limited. The purpose of this paper is to establish the association between market orientation (MO) in the school context and key relationship marketing performance indicators. Design/methodology/approach MO and four relationship constructs (brand trust, affective commitment, attitudinal loyalty, and advocacy) were measured using existing and established scales from the education and behavioral literatures. A model reflecting causal ordering derived from the literature and an understanding of school-customer relationships was developed. Data were collected from 205 parents of school-aged children in the USA and analyzed using structural equation analysis. Findings Results show that a positive relationship between market-oriented behaviors of school organizations and three of the identified indicators of successful school relationship marketing (affective commitment, attitudinal loyalty, and advocacy) are mediated by brand trust. Originality/value The study contributes to an understanding of the theoretical relationship between market-oriented behaviors and relationship marketing for schools. The results suggest that, for school organizations, MO impacts important outcomes and thus may be vital to sustainability and growth.

Increasingly, educational leaders are recognizing that the distribution of students within districts and schools has important implications for educational quality and equity. This case is about the factors underlying the changing student demographics at Bayview School, a 6 to 12 Expeditionary Learning school in an urban district. The case implicates teachers, district officials, and parents in how policies and system changes can produce incentives that reproduce inequitable access to educational choices. The case presents events over time and asks the reader to interrogate the role of social capital, power, and organizational influence in the demographic makeup of schools in the context of school choice.
