Attracting Capital: Magnets, Charters, and School Referendum Success
Shober, Arnold F.
Journal of School Choice, v5 n2 p205-223 2011
Does school choice enhance the ability of school districts to raise revenue? School districts use charter and magnet schools to attract and retain students, but does choice improve the odds for school districts seeking increased taxing authority at the polls? If those parents who choose schools are attentive to district policies, then increasing school choice should lead to more support of district spending. This work uses evidence from California, Colorado, Minnesota, and Wisconsin from 2000 to 2005 to suggest that school choice significantly improves a district's chances of winning revenue elections.
