school choice
Picking your school
School choice refers to policies allowing parents to select their children's schools rather than being assigned by district.
This typically includes options like charter schools, voucher programs, magnet schools, or open enrollment across district lines.
Proponents argue it increases educational opportunity; critics contend it diverts resources from public schools.
The state expanded school choice by funding private school vouchers.
