The Effects of the California Voucher Initiative on Public Expenditures for Education
This report presents the findings of an analysis of the fiscal effects of Proposition 174, a school-voucher initiative that appeared on the California ballot.
The goal of the school choice movement is to allow parents to decide which of the increasing options—from traditional public and private schools and charter and magnet schools to vouchers and tax credits—will best meet their children's educational needs. RAND's analyses consider the role of choice-based school reform in shaping education policy.
