Desert Bloom: Arizona's Free Market in Education.
Gresham, April; Hess, Frederick; Maranto, Robert; Milliman, Scott
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n10 p751-57 Jun 2000
Arizona allows charters to be granted by local school boards, the state board of education, or gubernatorially appointed boards. Regulatory loopholes allow multiple campuses, private school conversions, and outside-of-district charters. Market-based choice depends on political support, a strong state government, and enormous parental and teacher energy. (Contains 19 references.) (MLH)
