The limits of choice: school choice reform and state constitutional guarantees of educational quality

Article Abstract:

The right to education under state constitutions may provide adequate remedies to minimize the risks imposed by school choice programs that could result in the failure of some public schools. Market-based programs use competition to encourage improvement in educational quality, but economic forces will lead to skimming and declining enrollments for some public schools that serve low-income communities. States enacting school choice must adequately address how to educate children in these communities. If the program fails to do so, suits can be brought based on the failure to provide constitutionally mandated education.
