Article Abstract:

Several issues and arguments are raised with regard to African-American and Hispanic students in urban schools, as the Congress prepares to reauthorize the 2002 No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program. Congress needs to retarget legislation to improve socioeconomic diversity in urban schools, and while some analysts argue that allowing charter schools to compete with public schools will drive improvement, others say charter programs are too costly for most schools.
